Thanks to everyone who played along with Santa Week here at Caption Call. Here's a look back at our favorite captions of the week.

Santa was used here as part of a campaign to encourage people to get annual checkups. This doctor declared the big man "fit for duty" but did he really pass the physical? (AP photo)

"Keep this up and you'll be getting a colostomy bag for Christmas."
Submitted by Matthew

South Koreans in this Getty Images photo are going through Santa Claus school. Maybe they didn't get the memo that Santa's a guy, not a bubbly girl wearuing a red nose.

Okay ladies, repeat after me, " Oh, I"m his niece form Ohio visiting for the weekend."
Submitted by Vince Schuman

Santa makes his way to a German post office to pick up the scores of letters mailed to him this year. Hope those kids are strong enough to carry them. (AP photo)

Britney decides to send her boys to the Jolie-Pitts for Christmas...and maybe they'll adopt them. too.
Submitted by Phyllis Reinhard  

In this Getty Images photo, Santa's at his satellite office above the Arctic Circle to listen to this child's request. Hope he was asking for something good to have traveled all that way.

Last year Santa skimped on the gifts. This year Little Jimmy was given 4 espressos before meeting Father Christmas.
Submitted by Cait

What a jetsetter that Santa is. He's skydiving in this AP photo to promote a Christmas festival near Sydney, Australia. We wish we had Santa's travel budget.

Ok, Mr. Smarty Pants Elf! What's next? Now that you've gotten us thrown out of Santa's sleigh.

We decided to keep Santa Week going just one more day. Write a funny caption for this AP photo of Santa's soccer skills.

President Bush's shoe incident was all over the news last week, and since he wasn't hurt, we figure it was fair game to make fun of. And looks like our Caption Call regulars had a field day with it, too. (AP photo)

Gee, the last time this happened, Dick Cheney told me I was lucky he didn't have his shotgun with him.

Tom Cruise's altercation with Matt Lauer last year helped Americans learn the definition of the word "glib." Last week they had a rematch on The Today Show and things turned ugly ... ok, well not really. (AP photo)

We've been holding on for a while to this AP photo of Whoopi Goldberg at a celebrity softball game at the old Yankee Stadium. Makes us think of summer beer league softball instead of real baseball for some reason.

According to celebrity softball tournament rules, four balls entitles the batter to sashay to first base...

Ok, we admit it. We have an addiction to "The Hills." So a chance to make fun of Heidi Montag, her new husband Spencer Pratt and his creepy flesh beard, we couldn't say no. Here they are with jolly ol' St. Nick himself at some celebrity ski event in Utah. (Getty Images)

Kenny Rogers decides to dress in a flashy style in hopes that it will keep the Paparazzi from constantly commenting on his extreme face lift.

No one ever suspected that the Jolly Old Elf, in a moment of insanity, would push Heidi and Spencer down the slope. Witnesses report hearing Santa yell, "Jordan was such a great guy!" as he ran for his sleigh.

We had a short week with the Thanksgiving holiday here at Caption Call, thus only four photos to be funny with last week. Now that the tryptophan has worn off, let's take a look back at our favorite funny captions of the week.

This poor ice cream man in this AP photo is caught in a torrential downpour in Germany over the summer. I prefer eating popsicles when it's snowing outside, so ice cream in the rain isn't that foreign a concept.

Quigley makes a note to cross "selling ice cream during monsoon season" off his list of Get Rich Quick schemes. Submitted by Jeff Wellman

Welcome to Copenhagen, where the streets are wet, the people are sullen, and the ice cream season never ends!

The boy in this Getty Images photo is admiring a Dalek from Doctor Who at an art exhibit in Scotland. We never watched the show, so the humor from any captions that referenced the show was lost on us.

The best will earn a spot in next week's Caption Call Recap. We'll post last week's best photo captions later this afternoon.

And just in case you were on vacation and missed last week's pictures, check out a determined ice cream vendor, Beyonce's weird dance move, a kid's encounter with a weird robot and a Raven putting the atomic wedgie on a Philadelphia Eagles player.

(Of course, in our funny caption above we're referring to Sarah Palin's recent turkey pardoning ceremony which sparked a viral video.)
