It is time for caption contest results. Before the getting to the winner a couple of special mentions.

Molesworth: Joe Hockey teaches the joys of capitalism by demonstrating the positive side of email spam.

Simon N: Dickson, Joe, they asked what we’d do to improve their electorate of Dickson.

Simon almost had two in a row, but he was knocked off by this cracker by Duncan:

I know I promised to judge the caption competition, like, ages ago but sweet Jesus I done been busy. Plus it was my birthday yesterday so there’s a bit of hangover action going on right now. Anyway, a bunch of quality entries has produced the following results:

In third place is Ant Rogenous.

SUCKHOSEY: An ’ard man is good to find, no?

EASTWOOD: French toast please.

Ant wins the entire Clint Eastwood back catalogue on Betamax.

In second place is reb.

You can let go of my arm now Mister President. That’s your prostate exam all done for another year.

reb wins the piece of Berlin Wall that Sarkozy reckons he chipped off on the day of its fall.

And our winner is David Bonnici with this corker.

Clint Eastwood is shocked to discover that his orangutan co-star from Every Which Way But Loose is actually a surrender monkey.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for Groupthink’s first ever caption competition. Pretty simple, really: just submit your caption in the comments by 5pm Wednesday, and the panel of judges (me) will announce first, second and third places on Thursday.

Today’s photo comes from over the seas; a place the locals call “France”. In the photo, “French” President Nicolas Sarkozy is giving a movie star named Clint Eastwood (from some country called “the USA”) a medal for making movies or something. Clint Eastwood says that “France” is his second home, even though he doesn’t speak “French”, and Nicolas Sarkozy says that movies bring the two countries together even though they don’t really like each other.

Have at it!
