We Have a Winner!

. . . for FOTM’s 70th Caption Contest!

This was a very challenging contest to call because there were so many really great captions!

But the FOTM writers dutifully voted, each for his/her #1 and #2 captions. Each #1 vote is worth 3 points; every #2 vote is worth 2 points.

And it’s a tie!

The winners of the 70th world-famous FOTM Caption Contest, each with two #1 votes and one #2 vote, totaling 8 points each, are . . . .

“Of course I think this is appropriate attire for your daughter’s Prom, Mr. Cleaver…”

With rings in his earlobes
And pipes in his nose,
Young Bobby will whistle
Wherever he goes.
