What are Bishop John and Big Red saying to each other?

 

Caption competition

 

 

Thank you for your submissions: all I can say is, a lot of our readers seem to understand 'chook speak'. We had some very clever captions and choosing the winner was not easy. Here are the winning captions. Ed.

First prize goes to Jim Allan with Big Red's request, 'Please pray John, for the conversion of Colonel Sanders.'

Closely following in second place is Derek Walter with Bishop John's reply, 'Well, I'm sorry, but humans have been omnivorous for thousands of years . . .'

Special mentions (in no particular rank) go to Alexander Withers: Big Red (tongue in beak) to Bishop John: 'You forgot your mitre!'

David Lewis: Bishop John: 'I may be smiling, but if you do that again, you'll be souped.'

Bob Barclay from Victoria: 'Hey Johnno, if my comb was purple could I have a white collar too?!!'

Richard Lord: I'm pretty sure I heard Big Red say, sotto voce: 'John, take my advice: just a spray can of red hair gel and you'll look like a new man!'

Barbara Daft: Bishop John: 'If you stop your crowing at 5 a.m., I won't eat you for Christmas.' Big Red: ' OK mate that's a deal.'

Handzia Dawson: Bishop John, tenderly: 'My dear Big Red rascal you are a pain in the neck!' Big Red: 'I, a pain in the neck? Look at yourself!'

Philip Blake: 'John, for an extra ration of corn you can get a late call!'

John and Libby Shoobridge: 'Your call or mine?'

Raymond Tilley: Bishop John's message to Big Red: 'Your job cock, is to crow at the crack of dawn and call the congregation early to church.'

Joan Marshall: Bishop John: 'Now, about those early morning calls.'
