Cartoon caption contest
The New Yorker is having its yearly cartoon caption contest. I noticed that anyone outside the US is uninvited so I thought we could have the rest of the world represented here.
So in 25 words or less what caption would you write?
Here’s the cartoon.
Add your captions to the comments. I’ll post the first one.
This is an incredibly good exercise to develop your right-brain aptitudes.
UPDATE: The cartoon has moved so here it is:

Hi, is that Dan Pink? You never mentioned the downside for this caption competition 🙁
With only hours to go, the Texas Governor was concerned that every time he tried to make a call for clemency, the line was engaged.
Hello – is that The Matrix? It’s says here on the script that I get a nice leather jacket and meet someone called Trinity.

Hello – is that The Matrix? Get me out of this office now before my boss comes in!
Sorry Ken, this is not Dan. But I loved his book and was inspired to enter the New Yorker competition after reading A Whole New Mind.
Ok Dan, I’ve download a whole new mind, and I still can’t enter the competition, will they ever embrace the Asian/Australian aspects of your book?

I suspect that the cartoon has changed – the link is now going to the 27 March Cartoon contest – number 43. (Either that, or I am having a hell of a hard time relating those captions to the cartoon…)
Anyway, here’s a suggestsion for the current one:
“I thought you said you were calling a CROWN witness!”
Yes, it’s changed. Just put the original one up.
Hi – can you find something for my other hand?
