I'd already changed it when you voted, sorry. I'm going to have to delete this one because the original was too similar to a slightly earlier caption that I didn't see, so I changed it to 'x' while I thought of something else. Then it got a vote. I've been wracking my brains for some possible way that the letter 'x' could be somehow related to a picture of a giant crow crossing the road, but so far I've got nothing. Maybe I should have learned latin or done more crosswords when I was younger. Thanks for the vote though! I'd recommend voting for the "why did the jackdaw cross the road" caption instead, which has almost the same punchline as this had :)
Thanks Glyn. I might keep it on here now, just to annoy everyone who posted up clever and witty captions but has yet to receive a vote, whereas this one has two votes and is just a stupid letter 'x'. Anyway, I've thought of a justification- it's algebra, where 'x' stands for 'the funniest caption you've ever read'.
I believe I fixed it on my part. I only wrote it to match the way Molly had written hers. It remains for her to change hers as well, and all will be right with the world (or at least that part of the world that resides within the confines of this caption and comments). (*To be clear, all is right with this microcosm of a world as long as we retain good will toward each other). And with that, I think I've already said too much (oops).
I can't change mine, Willie, because it's already got four votes - although none of them is Karen's, so this is not quite where we came in. (Besides, although I was taught as a child never to start a sentence with "And", nobody ever explained why they did this so much in the Bible. "And it came to pass..." And if that was supposed to be the Word of God I reckoned it should have trumped my teacher.)

This isn't what I voted for.

I like x. It's got my vote.

How the Norwegian Blue became an x parrot (or the Norwegian Black became a x crow).

I'm going to interpret it as a protest against terrible puns and vote accordingly.
8:11pm
It could, however, also be read as an approval for terrible puns, in which case you've wasted a vote.
8:33pm
Very clever but I think it might be spelled wrong.
8:49pm
And the punctuation is rubbish.
8:52pm
...and the beginning of the sentence is not capitalized.
8:56pm
Not really the right context to start a sentence with and.
9:32pm
Nobody should expect perfect grammar, it's just a sign of the times.
