Loading ...(You’ve probably noticed that there are 6 captions to choose from, as opposed to the 5 that I go on about at the start of every contest post. Well, all I have to say is: TOO BAD! You try selecting just 5 captions out of all the submissions that roll in each week – I dare you, in fact I triple dog dare you! (Are you still reading this? Bravo to you if you are!) Now, back to my rant. Stop with this cleverness! Stop it right now! Can’t you guys just pretend to be boring for just 1 week in order to make the selection task a bit easier on The Wife and I – and the health of our marriage? (We bicker all Monday morning long about which captions make the cut.) Well, most of you have probably scrolled right past this paragraph to show off your wit to the world. So, it looks like it will be another long Monday morning a week from now. Sigh.)
And, here’s the winner of the Beware of…” caption contest:
Congratulations, Sheila!

“According to this book on obscure bear trivia, the Berenstains, before they wrote about Papa, Mama, Sister, and Brother Bear for unsuspecting children, they wrote a sex book in 1955 called “Marital Blitz”. They found that children buy more books then their parents, so they dropped the cartoon sex books, and became publishers of cartoon bears. I wonder why that was left out of the Wikipedia entry?” (True Fact)
“You know the Berenstains were into both bears and sex, so maybe we should write them about our own ‘Bedtime Stories’!”
“We’ll teach him to get us while we hibernate.”
