I didn't get past picture #1
 
picture #2 got me :smile:
 
I came into this thread grumpy and determined not to smile out of sheer ill will towards everything. I cracked up at picture #1. Well done!
 
I'm sacred of dogs so I didnt smile at #1 but #2 got me!
 
#3 made me do it :cry: :smile:

Ivan Seeking,
Would you mind if I copy this to send as an e-mail/share it in other message boards?
 
I must be an old sour puss, I got through the whole bunch without cracking a smile.
 
number 2 got me. I'll tell you the one that cracks me up every time. That squirrel with the hanging nuts in the caption thread.
 
I failed right from the start, I'm hopeless!

I got through them all, but I was eating while I viewed them.
 
  • #11
That wasn't hard at all...
 
  • #12
Fell at four.

LMFAO Kitty

Not at all. :biggrin:
 
  • #15
I'm pretty hopeless at these kinds of tests. I start smiling before I've even seen the pictures - just because I know I'm not supposed to smile.
 
  • #16
Is is just me or are the ears on number four supersized?
 
  • #17
I lost it while scrolling between 2 and 3. I think trying so hard to not smile is what got me! :smile:
 
  • #18
Before even looking at anything, I almost smiled by trying to not smile... but then I looked at every picture without smiling...

What's so funny about some poor baby primate obviously being scared to death?
 
  • #21
I almost smiled upon seeing picture two but then I decided to think about something else while looking at the rest of the pictures. No smile.:biggrin:
 
  • #22
I made it all the way through, but the 4th one almost got me.

Yeah, jeez you guys what's your problem. I scrolled down rather uninterested. I got the point though... there is one right?

That's actually what I thought. That poor ape is being frightened.

So did I, but that's what made me smile.

I don't get the objections. He looks like a typical student from the professors point of view.
