It is time to declare the winner. 🏆 Before that I want to mention that this is a picture that my daughter found on Pinterest. She actually offered me three to choose from and I picked the one I could relate to. I would like to thank everyone for their contributions. I enjoyed reading all the captions and I really had a hard time picking the funniest. Eventually I asked for my wife’s help and we decided to give the award to **Spoons** for his last entry: _“The joke’s on you guys–the bottle opener is in my pocket!”_ @Spoons, please post the next picture to caption. 🙂 ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > You should get your daughter to join us in submitting captions. Her suggestions have been great. I know I should but she’s currently building her teenage personality in stark opposition to her parents. She felt flattered when I asked her to help me but acted like it was not a big deal. She’s being so stubborn at the moment, you know, like a teenager who still needs to learn so much about life but thinks she knows better. Anyway, I hope she will join us one day. Here’s the caption she proposed for the picture I posted: _And this is what happens when they bring Corona to the party._ 🙂 ---

Very good!! My daughters were much like her when they were in their teens - very oppositional, but very, very funny; naturally I was the same way too. Hope she’ll help us out with some more ideas. ---

Thank you, **Placebo Target** , and thanks to your wife too, for selecting my entry. I agree that your daughter should participate–even if she does nothing more than post in this thread, I’m sure her ability to find such photos, and supply captions, would be most welcome. Okay, let’s see what you folks can make of this one: [![](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/06/20/13/55/man-815795_960_720.jpg) ](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/06/20/13/55/man-815795_960_720.jpg) ---
