It's Not Me, It's Them!

Well, at least I now know it's nothing personal.

Last week, I neglected to submit an entry for the New Yorker "Cartoon Caption Contest #140."



However, my friend did. It was a decent submission:

"No cover charge if we get there by Thursday!"

True to form, the New Yorker's judges carved a trail of mediocrity in their selections:

• "Forget Oregon. I'm going to Vegas." dull
  
  


• "There's red carpets in them thar hills!" corny
  
  


• "Indian casino. I'd say Comanche." huh? that doesn't even make sense!
