Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 221

“Where is it written that a gun can’t be accidentally discharged seven times?”

(by Pat Foley)

 

My original caption: “And I want to remind the jury that no actual animals were injured by my client in the commission of his crime.”

 

Congratulations, Pat Foley, for this, your fourth victory. It’s been quite a while — your last win was back in May 2022, in Contest No. 186. But now you can once again let it be known to all and sundry that you are positively one of the funniest people around.

Here are the other caption entries that I was seriously considering for top honors:

“And then the defendant pointed the gun like so.” (by Rich Wolf)

“You are getting sleepy . . . very . . . very . . . sleepy . . . ” (by Lee Lacewell)

“Who among us hasn’t committed bank fraud?” (by Michael Lomazow)

“And a one, and a two . . . ” (by Scott Malcolm)

“You’re a jury of his peers, you’re all innocent, ergo my client is innocent.” (by Joe Ayella)

“Time to decide: Tastes Great or Less Filling?” (by Kelly Nagle)

By the way, a few days ago I noticed that Captioneer Scott Malcolm earned a Runner Up prize in Bob Mankoff’s latest CartoonStock Caption Contest. Congrats to you also, Scott Malcolm!

Be on the lookout for my next Contest, Captioneers, and many thanks for participating.
