“I love geriatric fight night.”
(by Scott Malcolm)
My original caption: “Why did you think they call him Rocky?”
Congratulations, Scott Malcolm, on your second victory — your first win was not that long ago, in Contest No. 230. Once again, you have earned the title of One of the Funniest People Around, and you can take advantage of all the bragging rights that go with the victory.
Did any of you Captioneers come up with with a caption that is funnier than my original one? Well, I still think mine holds up pretty well, so I consider it a close call.
Here are the other submitted captions that almost made it:
“He doesn’t have to worry about getting his teeth knocked out . . . they’re in a jar in his dressing room.” (by Lee Lacewell)
“His gloves are in perfect condition. He’s never hit anybody.” (by Michael Lomazow)
“Now we know how Rocky Marciano got his name.” (by Ken Wilkinson)
“Technically, he’s got the home advantage — the nursing home advantage.” (by Joe Ayella)
“They don’t call him Rocky for nothing.” (by Pat Foley)
“This is his first fight out of retirement.” (also by Pat Foley)
“He’s hoping to win by unanimous concern.” (by Anya)
Contest No. 239 will be posted in due course, Captioneers, so be on the lookout for it. Thanks for participating!

Hello Eli.
Thank you for the recognition.
I do have one question. What does the cornerman have in his mouth. Is it a cigarette?
Scott
Yes, It’s a cigarette. People were still smoking in those days.
Congrats again on your victory!
