May It Please the Court...

I thought my entry to the New Yorker "Cartoon Caption Contest" #153 was just fair until I read the actual winners.



While my submission was barely passable:

"Counselor, you may begin closing arguments after a short intermission, er, I mean recess"

It had an entire leg up on at least two of the entrees the NYer judges selected:

• "I know you have the law and the facts on your side, but I'm going with the dancing girls on this." -- sucks
  
  
• "The jury foreman will now sing the verdict." -- best of the bunch
  
  
• "Overruled, counsellor. This is sweeps week." -- absolute crap
