This week's WILLisms.com Caption Contest photograph:

Last week's photo:

Winners from last week:

Kevin:

Hiker Stephen Gough, "I knew I should have taken a left at Albuquerque."

Bart Harmon:

Realizing, at last, that he had mistakenly transposed his wife's promise to "take him on a hike for his birthday" for encouragement to "take a hike in your birthday suit," British subject Stephen Gough finally resolved to seek treatment for his ever-worsening aural dislexia.

bullwinkle:

Stephen Gough looks to the skies, always desperate to keep tabs on the weather. He always faced ridicule from people he passed on the road, but a cold front passing inevitably brought jokes about his "little hitchhiker", those were the cruelest of all.

Captioning is Rumsfeldeliciously rad.

Enter today!

When Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was asked by conspiracy theorists about possible connections between classified military weather control equipment and the now apparently continuously onslaught of hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, he covered his eyes and muttered in a thick German accent, "I know noth... ing! ... Noth... ing!" Not shown, President George W. Bush was reportedly holding his hands over his ears shouting, "I can't hear you! I can't hear you! Nya Nya Nya Nya!" Deputy Defense secretary Paul Wolfowitz was reportedly holding his hands over his mouth, unable to speak, but with eyes darting nervously about the room.
