Caption Competition anyone?

Love is… :heart_eyes:

“He’s MY friend. You can’t play with us.”

or

“He needs a friend. We have to take him home with us.”

“Monkey business? No, my monkey Mum is pure pleasure!”

My turn next

I know I shouldn’t have a favourite, but …………
Or - don’t even think about it!

It’s too sad for me to follow, I cry every time I see this poor little thing :sob: :sob: :sob:

Punch is a survivor. He’s going to be taking over as leader of this troop before long. What’s the betting?

He’s battling the odds but winning with his strong attitude. I so admire him. He has support from his wonderful keeper. What a hero!

“Don’t judge me!”

Ha ha ha! Fab!@MerryPuppins out of hope was born a new link.

When Nature turned its back, a human gave him his arms around him.

“ I feel sorry for you two, you’ve only got one Mum, whereas I’ve got two! “

The right way to hug is this, watch carefully you don’t want to get this wrong or you’ll become of ‘those’ monkeys who don’t do correct hugging. And it’s important to do correct hugging or the stuffed toy might become reactive, at the moment it’s frozen in fear, but I’ve heard from others that saw it react before in the other place. Now I think I can let you hug it a little bit under my supervision to build your experience, but as you’re only beginners don’t try any advanced hugging manoeuvres, we’ll get to that later. I’ve got some release forms you’ll need to complete before that ok. Basically don’t run before you can walk in the business of hugging, we don’t want any hugging accidents after all. By the way I’m fully insured for all hugging events, so no worries ok. Let the hugging workshop begin….

That’s a long caption!

2pt font and a huge hand lens to read it.

Loved it!@BonnyinBrighton Thanks for all the handiwork with spyglass! You may be suffering from hang ups! One to watch!

“ Yes, these are the two I was telling you about, Mummy dearest. They aren’t touchy-feely but I’m hoping to win them around.”

“ Golly, Mum, I’m going to have to stop eating those over ripe fruit… I must be getting tipsy! I keep seeing DOUBLE!”

Wow, OK.
I thought this was just a random cute photo. Now I have looked it up and learned the story. Poor little guy.

Google did a thing:

Mentions of Punch and his two primary keepers have been all over social media. There was even report of their zoo in Japan being overwhelmed by visitors, including ones from abroad, who’ve flown intentionally to see Punch.

Caption:

“Who’s gonna tell him?”

BTW, I long ago won a famous cartoon caption contest. My entry was of course cat related. The cartoon showed a very tiny man fighting off a housecat by holding a thimbel like a shield and a sewing needle like a sword.

My caption was: “Think about it. I’m still the only one here who knows how to use a can opener.”

Brilliant @Marion! A very powerful bargaining position! Ha ha!
