Literal Caption Contest: Finalists!

Thank you all so much for your submissions! 

I was thrilled that so many people — more than 400 in all — from all over the world — across the US and Europe, Chile, Japan, India, and beyond — sent in their ideas. 

I couldn’t bear narrowing the field down to just three, so here are my six favorite literal captions for you to vote on. I wish I could give honorable mentions to all the people who submitted repetitions and variations on these, as well as those who submitted other great captions, but space just doesn’t allow naming everyone.

To vote, email your favorite to themonkeysyouordered@gmail.com before the end of Friday, and I will post the winner on Saturday. 

Thanks again to all who participated!
