You are invited to play this quick minor league-version of the The New Yorker Caption Contest.
Every week I enter the contest in the magazine. Below are five captions. Three are the magazine’s semifinal selections, one is the winner, and two are mine. See if you can guess which are which.
A. “They’re trying to attract a younger crowd.”
B. “As they race down the homestretch it’s Broomhandle by a stick and a half!”
C. “And they said my career was over after ‘The Godfather.’”
D. “Which sounds faster: ‘clip-clop, clip-clop’ or ‘clippety-clop’?”
E. “Save something for next weekend; it’s the Playground Derby.”
This cartoon is the property of The New Yorker. I devour every issue of the magazine and consider it “must” reading for writers and those who appreciate good writing.
Answers: A winner, B & E Duane’s captions, E Duane’s submission
