Well thank you, Sir Knight.

Here's one I just took recently and I've been hoping to win this thread so I could use it here.




In case you can't tell, yes, the tree is growing through the car's grill.

(Don't blame the U-Haul dealer, it's a different property.)

U-Haul have little to fear from the upstart Yew-Haul next door.

Six entries so far, all better than anything I thought of. I'll give it another day.

Okay, 22 hours since the last entry and plenty of time since it was originally posted. Judgment is at hand (and difficult).

3rd place, Skildude: Son, Cars don't just grow on trees... they grow on bushes

2nd place, Blurf: "Can't you see it's camo? Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm avoiding the repo guy!"

Winner, Michael Roberts: U-Haul have little to fear from the upstart Yew-Haul next door.

PM coming.

Message 1383694 - Posted: 22 Jun 2013, 16:50:40 UTC - in response to Message 1383152.  

Two days have passed. I think there were some missed opportunities. My ideas happen to have a religious theme: nobody picked up on the purple curtains, perhaps this phone box was installed for the Pope's latest visit to England, so he could phone home without removing his mitre. Has to be a caption there somewhere. Another caption I might well have entered:

"Tower of Babel inspires first phone booth to offer automatic translation"

Anyway, on with the results. They happen to correspond to order of appearance this time:

Third place, Skildude with: Supermans new digs

Second place, Steven Meyer with the best response to the partially concealed sign: Latest proposal from YouTube ... YooPhone.

And the winner is: grumpy old Chris S with: Now you know why your phone bills are 50% higher!

I will dictate a PM as soon as I can find a working phone booth.
