Out of the Mix

Dammit. I didn't get around to submitting my idea for the New Yorker "Cartoon Caption Contest #159." Given the NYer's propensity for picking the wrong entrees, I don't think it REALLY matters.



I was going to send:

"The cafeteria was out of two-by-fours, stir it with your ruler"

Which I think holds up to the actual finalists:

• "Can you please pass the cow?" - not bad, not great
  
  
• "Let me start by welcoming you all to Narcoleptics Anonymous." - zzzzz
  
  
• "By a 9-0 vote, the rest-room expansion project is approved." - sometimes, I think they're just pulling them out of a hat
