SO, THE SUGAR BOWL IS CHINA
UPDATE: WINNER ANNOUNCED:
Yesterday we asked you to come up with a witty caption about what Julia Gillard and Hillary Clinton might be discussing over tea, and the submissions were very funny: they are all still here for you to see.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Perth yesterday
But we’ve chosen our favourites, and picked a frontrunner.
On our Facebook page were these suggestions:
Penny Beitzel wrote: Hillary: I like my coffee strong and black, just like my presidents. Julia: Weak and white for me.
Lisa Barton-Collins: “And then I started the ‘things more popular than Abbott” hash tag on twitter!”
“Good one! Did you see what I did to Mitt Romney? Hahaha!”
On our comment list we liked these:
NQMelba: Julia: “you know Hill, they say the best leaders in history have been left handed.”
Hillary: “ya don’t say Jules.”
Nic: Julia “I would’ve worn my pants too, but Tony asked if he could borrow them.”
Fiona: Julia: So you were playing shag, shoot or marry, and things just got a little out of hand? Hillary: And that was how I ended up married to him, yes. Oh that night was a blast….
But our favourite suggestion – and the winner of the comp – comes from Nat:
Hillary: So, let me get this right, you’re unmarried, an atheist and have openly gay members of cabinet, and you still got elected?
Julia: I didn’t think it was such a big deal…
Nat wins a fabbo gift pack valued at $100. Please write to us at info@thehoopla.com.au to claim your prize.
And thanks to all of you for your submissions!
