Here's last week's caption pic winner. This week's caption pic is at the bottom of the page.

Thanks to everyone for participating! The winner is ...

"A freshly facelifted Martha demonstrates her magical nipple-tweak (naughty relation to Samantha's nose-twitch!), sending a double whammy at John, causing him to drop to his knees and make the jazz hands!"

Thanks to Samwitch for this week's winning caption.

Speaking of jazz hands, Happy Birthday to Sean Hayes, who turns 41 this weekend, and new Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey, who is 48.
