The New Yorker has been having a caption contest which, in their staid words, works thusly:

Each week, we provide a cartoon in need of a caption. You, the reader, submit your caption below, we choose three finalists, and you vote for your favorite. Finalists for this week’s cartoon will appear online Monday, August 22nd, and in the August 29th issue of The New Yorker.

Click “Read the rest” to see this week’s cartoon and some of the captions I’ve thought up. Use the comments section to let me know which you prefer and/or give me some suggestions.
