Out of all the entries, OffBeat's Editorial Committee got the biggest chuckle out of this one from Ms Chan Lai-ngor, Clerical Assistant of the Complaints and Internal Investigations Branch, and voted it the winner. The Chinese caption doesn't translate too well, but is comical in its native script. It loosely translates as the woman officer thinking: "You look really smart in uniform, I like it", as Mr Ng thinks to himself: "Look at this pretty woman officer. It's my honour to receive flowers from her". |
WE had a mammoth submission of Chinese
entries for last issue's Crazy Caption contest.
