Welcome Juggleers and Jugglitos, to a new monthly feature here at eJuggle, the “Funny Caption” contest. I had hoped to start this off with the New Year, but January and February slipped by me. March seems as good a time as any. So, each month I will post a fun, unusual, and hopefully rare, juggling-based image along with a “funny caption” to start things off. Post your entries, and we here at eJuggle will judge the funniest one, and announce a prize winner (or two) the following month when the new image is posted. Sound Like fun? Sure it does.
Here we go with “Funny Caption Contest” Photo #1. My caption to prime the pump is: “Lupie and Manuel were not only great tortilla makers, but excellent jugglers. Once they discovered the perfect way to combine the two, into a method of drying the tortillas, work was never boring again.”
Good luck everyone. Have fun. I look forward to reading your entries.
Sincerely,
Steve Langley aka Alfredo Fettucini aka The Paddle Ball King
Lupie and Manuel were not only great tortilla makers, but excellent jugglers. Once they discovered the perfect way to combine the two, into a method of drying the tortillas, work was never boring again.
