Caption contest
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

The same pic will show here, on Facebook, and on The World of Wombat. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. No prize this week, just the glory of winning!
I'm sorry sir,,,but the ADA does not believe a wombat is a 'comfort' pet.

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! You definitely had fun with this one, although some of you were understandably confused about which wombat was which. First, the Honorable Mentions: Dan Stafford: "But he's my identical twin!!"; Lasolimu: "Sir, I don't care that your name is also wombat, I'm still going to need another passport for you."; Eric S. Zipp: "Your friend is cleared to board... but Mr. Wombat, it appears that you are on the no-fly list."; Jay Dennis: "But sir, the import regulations and restrictions are quite clear on this subject. Each family can bring in one wombat, so which one of you do we need to send home?"; darph nader: "But the announcement said, 'Parents with children board next.'"; leftcoaster: "'Anything to declare?' 'One wombat. Make that two wombats.'"; Scott Stogius Maximus Lewis: "Wombat uses a wombat as his photo ID. It works."; and Rebecca Jordan: "Sir, I don't care that your name is also wombat, I'm still going to need another passport for you."
And this week's winning entry this week is from perennial funny guy Alan AJ Irby, his third win in 2015 and his 18th overall! Congratulations, A.J.!
Thanks to all who entered! DOUBLE caption contest coming on Monday!

2) Wombat suddenly realized that asking directions from a man who was in the middle of a sneezing fit might have caused a slight detour in his travels.

1. Wombat does not think much of the follow up to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".
2. Unfortunately, Wombat misunderstood what it means to be a "guest in the London Tower"….
