Check Please

Once again, the results of The New Yorker "Cartoon Caption Contest" (#221), left a bad taste in my mouth.


My caption:

"Surprisingly, their broth is pretty good."

The official winners included:

• “Let Table Seven know that there will be a slight delay on the risotto.” - too many words for too few laughs
  
  
• “This is why I don't need cable TV.” - seems kinda generic to me
  
  
• “There's always room for cello.” - waiter, there's a fly in my joke
