This week’s Weekend Caption Contest™ was great. I honestly considered saying every caption was a winner and Bin Laden martinis all around. There were way too many excellent captions to honor, so go read the rest of the entries. The assignment this week was to caption the following picture:
Here are the winning entries:
1) (Mary Gehman) – “When Trump does an “Apology Tour”, the world apologizes to HIM…”
(Par4Course) – “Trump offered to trade Hillary for the hostages. Kim, not wanting to take any chances, just released them.”
2) (Rick Adams) – “Puts a whole new spin on that “3am phone call” ad, doesn’t it?”
(guido81_MA) – “This just in: 9th Circuit orders stay on prisoner release; Orders their return to North Korea.”
3) (cathymv) – “Notice the difference:
Obama and Hillary taking photo ops in front of flag draped caskets
Trump photo ops while walking with live rescued hostages”
(fustian24) – “In an interview, one of the freed captives characterized his time in North Korea this way:
“Well, at least we never had to be Eric Schneiderman’s girlfriend…!””
4) (yetanotherjohn) – “Donald: Hey Mike. Let’s jump in the plane and go free some Americans being held prisoner by the North Koreans.
Mike: Sure. Why don’t we take the wives and make a triVp out of it.”
(stan25) – “Hey DemocRATs, this is how you free hostages. By walking and not being carried in flag draped coffins. Don’t need any huge sums of cash either.”
5) (rodney dill) – “CNN: “Proof that Trump colluded with Kim Jong-Un to get three more votes in the upcoming elections.””
(Pretzel_Logic) – “This just in from CCN: Donald Trump kidnaps 3 Korean men and forces them onto US soil!!”
6) (Vagabond661) – “CNN reports President Trump failed to return the table to its upright position on Air Force One.”

The Readers Choice Award this week goes to:
(Retired military) – “CNN “Mr President, in your talks with Pres Kim did you have any alcoholic drinks”
Trump “No. But I told Kim he could have a Bin Laden martini”
CNN “Bin Laden martini?”
Trump “Yeah 2 shots and a splash of water””
Honorable Mention(s):
(IronAndCarbon) – “CNN: One of the freed hostages attempts to give Trump bunny ears.”
(Wild_Willie) – ““That Trump is a bad mother__”. “Hush yo mouth.””
(Joe_Miller) – “You’re back in America. You can put your hands down now.”
Most Inappropriate But Funny:
(Paul Hooson) – “It’s funny, but when Paul Hooson tells Asian jokes, an hour later they’re still angry..”
Best use of the Trump Administration Caption of Choice:
(Brian Brandt) – “Freed Hostage: Where is President Hillary?
Trump: Wow, you’ve been in solitary for a long time, haven’t you?”
Best Banter Weight:

That’s all for this weekend. A new edition of the Wizbang Weekend Caption Contest™ will debut Friday morning.
