OK chaps, time to judge! Well done all, I knew this photo had been used before but there's some really good "one liners" this time. Two liners, too!

Some of my favourites:

simon brown The French immigration official, stated he denied ever seeing any stowaways on board the lorry bound for Dover
I wonder how often that's been said in the not too distant past?

SteveCox The CapComp crew would go anywhere for a free drink

brickhistory Has anyone got the keys?

It's ok, if it's an American beer, it needs all the time it can get to ferment.

Gentleman, please no fighting in the war room!

Besides, you'll find my beer in the 'fridge, not some EU-ified luke-warm crap...

The Irish Regiment of Leprechauns procurement process was delayed three weeks because Toys R Us temporarily ran out of stock due to the Christmas rush.

Well you can hinge the front like a Galaxy, but it's still a Skyvan.

1944: "I've heard the Brits might want to copy our Jeep and call it the Land Rover. Then one day they will want to build a helicopter to carry it inside like this and will probably call it something like the EH101. Let's just hope those silly billies build their helicopter big enough, so it will easily fit in!"

1987: "OOPS! Anybody want a slightly too small helicopter?"
