Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the ones you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language correctness.

Remember to correct your posts as suggested. Do NOT use subject pronouns!

Please give everyone a chance and only post one caption and no photos smile.

Parece que el lavado de oídos fue un éxito.
