THE MAN WITH AN ORANGE FOR A HEAD CARTOON CAPTION.

THE MAN WITH AN ORANGE FOR A HEAD CARTOON CAPTION. I entered the New Yorker cartoon contest #387. The cartoon showed a woman talking to a man at a bar. The man has a paper bag (with eye holes) over his head. I submitted as a caption: “So, how long have you had an orange for a head?” I learned from the current issue (July 29) that I am not one of the three finalists. The three finalists are:

“Wow, the Moscow airport—what a wacky idea for a first date!”

“I need someone without baggage.”

“You have really kind eyeholes.”

I still like mine best.
