Friday Caption Contest - Another Cycling Nun
This week’s contest is in two parts. Obviously you have to come up with a caption for this photo, but there’s also a multiple-choice question in case you can’t be bothered to think of anything creative but still want a chance of winning. Our prize this time is a week’s stay in the convent of your choice, and the photo that could win you this comes from clarkmackey on Flickr :
Multiple Choice Question: What’s odd about this picture?
- Nuns don’t ride choppers - the Papal Encyclical of 1978 denounces all choppers as ungodly. Though in truth this was referring to the Mk 1 Raleigh Chopper, with it’s centre-mounted stick shift, which was thought to be too much of a temptation to the Brides of Christ.
- The bus is both signaling AND further away than the regulation three inches from the bike.
- Cycling nuns always shave their legs, and this one doesn’t seem to have.
- Nuns don’t usually have an Adam’s Apple.
You can probably think of much funnier things to say about this picture - just leave your entries below, and Father Jack will be selecting the winner just as soon as we can sober him up enough.
