_“And then?”_ _“And then Jimmy the hammerhead winks his eyes at me. ‘Shall we see the last one then?’ he asks. ‘Of course!’ I shout. ‘Let’s get this over with.” So, the last remaining prospective businessman enters the Shark Tank. By now the only sharks left in there are Jimmy the hammerhead and I, right? ‘What’s your business idea?’ I question the guy quickly because it’s getting late and the traffic is terrible at night. The guy gives a wry smile and flashes some kind of weird goggles. ‘Ridiculously wide glasses,’ he replies. ‘Okay, I’m out,’ I say and gesture to Jimmy he should follow me outside. Jimmy the hammerhead winks his eyes at the guy and says: ‘Tell me more about it.’ Ha, ha, ha. Get it? Tell me more about it. And then he winks his eyes at me too.”_ ---

Many superb captions, and it was difficult to select just one. But I managed. These, for example, all made me laugh, and deserve Honorable Mentions: > [@kaylasdad99](#): > > “Concerned that _Mockingjay - Part 2_ wasn’t going to end well for her, Prim Everdeen tried to open negotiations to be featured in a reboot of the _JAWS_ franchise.” > [@needscoffee](#): > > “I rescued her from Miss Catty at the General Catty School for Disobedient Cats. How’s your school been treating you?” > [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > “This isn’t Pismo Beach! I must have made a wrong turn in Albuquerque.” But this one is going to take the win. Congratulations, **Knowed Out** : > [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > “Your dad’s a lawyer? I won’t eat you then. Professional courtesy.” Okay, **Knowed Out** , you’re up! ---
