My Failed New Yorker 2

For the past 6 months I have entered the New Yorker Caption Contest with some close calls but little success for even a nomination. I consider it to be the perfect weekly challenge to test my mettle for headline writing.

I refuse to give up, not until I win it all.

Join me on the frustration and failures as I now feature my weekly submissions and those that beat me. Mark my words--I will not give up. I will pave a public road of mistrials and misfortunes, no matter how many, so that one day, I will defeat this archrival: Damn you, NEW YORKER!

My Submission:




































After taking a few cold showers, I was brought down from my rage long enough to vote for the best of three. If I can't win, the best should. That's the rule. I chose, "Tell me you kept the box and receipt." It's simple and puts a modern twist on the mix-up.
