Caption This! Winners [Oh, Thank Heaven for 7/11 Edition]

Announcing the winners of the first ever Right Place Photo Caption Contest!

First of all, let me thank everyone who participated. Over 50 entries were posted and considered. Thank you all so much, that is many more than I thought I would ever receive! And the quality of your entries was beyond all hope! (Incidentally, I informed my wife before she posted that her entry was not eligible for the contest.)

I'd also like to give out a special thank you to all of those who linked to this post. Without your help, this contest would likely have been a complete waste of time!

Out of all the wonderful entries received, I cut it down to a couple of dozen or so that actually made me laugh out loud when I first read them. I then whittled them down to a top 10, all of which are featured below. I must confess, picking an ordinal finish here was quite hard and I never thought I would need to award more than 1st thru 3rd places, but these are all so good, I just had to highlight every last one of them.

So, without further ado, I give you - the top ten captions for this picture from AFP via Yahoo!:
