Thank you for all your entries. As usual, feel free to discuss any of this in our "Comments" section. Just click the blue link below this post and add your observations, criticisms or additional captions!

Here's a selection of some of the other better lines we received this week:

"We do chicken Wright."

"Therefore never send to know for whom the chickens come home to roost; they come home to roost for me."

"When I said America's chickens have come home to roost, I didn't mean in my living room."

"Shouldn't you be in the Oval Office?"

"The yolk is easy and the burden is light."

"Ya know, it's really just a figure of speech."

"I didn't say you were deficient. I said, different."

"I can't believe how fowled up the media are!"

"Every time I open my mouth, someone gets their feathers ruffled!"

"And Barack, Barack, Barack to you too."

And today's Loony Tune special: "Looky here, I say, son, I'm not chicken, just a loud-mouthed schook!"

Please join us again Monday, May 12, for a new cartoon caption challenge.

Great winners this week. I love the one about the bird flu.

I'm continually amazed by the high quality of captions we receive, no matter how bizarre or nonsensical a drawing I come up with late on a Friday afternoon. My thanks again to all you who participate. Keep 'em coming -- you're the ones who make the cartoons look good!
