It was difficult to select a winner. Special mentions must go to these captions;

"May the farce be with you" (*** aka Maja )

"Behind the mask, Fr Gary Smith was still cursing the incompetence of his drycleaner" (Ramreader)

"ATSIC reveal their new, user-friendly CENSUS results" (Josh vk)


but the winner of the kudos is Luke for his caption


"Episode VII: The Papal Menace"

Ugg-boot ram-raider


A 32 year old man from Birmingham, England has been jailed for ram-raiding his car into a supermarket wearing nothing but ugg-boots and a sheet. Ram-raiding in ugg-boots!! And naked to boot! Clearly the man is not sheepish, when it comes to naked burglary at least!


The judge sentenced him to four years behind baaas...

Euphemisms - "You say Potato...I say awesome Root (vegetable)"

In Patrick Marber's play and film Closer there is a clever bit of banter in which journalist Dan explains the euphemisms his newspaper uses in obituaries for public figures:

Dan: At six PM, we stand round the computer and read the next day’s page, make final changes, put in a few euphemisms to amuse ourselves…
Alice: Such as?
Dan: “He was a convivial fellow” - meaning he was an alcoholic. “He valued his privacy” - gay. “He enjoyed his privacy” - raging queen."

Hilarious. Then there are the euphemisms for body parts and functions and sexually activities that amuse the giggling adolescent in us all.

Got any good euphemisms to share? Use the comments box.
