I must say that my impromptu moment of insanity inspired many of you to get your creative juices flowing and come up with some catchy and witty captions. I loved them all, but alas, there can only be one winner:
Dr. Roy Shelburne of Jonesville, Virginia, with this caption:
“You think things look bad from where you're sitting . . .”
An open-ended caption with another opportunity for the imagination to run wild. I like that!
Dr. Shelburne will receive the following prizes:
- Nobel Biocare hand driver set—with the new angled attachment piece
- Paradise Dental Technologies instrument kit
- Young Dental hygiene handpiece
A HUGE thank you to Nobel Biocare, Paradise Dental Technologies, and Young Dental (via SmartPractice) for sponsoring these items for this contest!
Listed below are some of the other captions for your perusal. Thank you to you all for your submissions! Enjoy!
