For the CartoonStock Caption Contest #168, Joe Dator takes the story of the Trojan Horse and substitutes a giant pantomime horse with two clueless perpetrators. How on earth does one write a caption for this?
The rules of the monthly cash prize contest should be familiar by now: Five bucks buys up to three entries. Real cash prizes are $500 for first place and $100 for each of five runners up. As of this writing, I've put $65 into the first thirteen pay-to-play contests and this one brings my cash outlay up to $70. The great news is that I was lucky enough to win $200 so far along the way, so I'm playing with the house's money. Some very talented caption writers play and I don't know whether I can keep it up, but I'm going to work at it like a Trojan. My three latest entries are shown below, above the break. Below the break are my also-rans.

| "Troy isn't going to fall for a pair of big boobs." "Folks here don't have names like Shock and Awe." "You can tell Homer this will never sell." * * * "It's wartime. The costume party has been downsized." "That's the best you Greeks could come up with? We ride off bareback and leave Troy unguarded?" "Go home and try again." |
