10. Frank’s gonna lay an egg when he hears about this.

Every week, I submit a caption to the New Yorker's cartoon caption contest. When the three finalists' captions are published, I am often convinced that my submission was better than any of the finalists'. Having grown weary of submitting without recognition that my submissions are more deserving than the editors' selections, I am using this forum to bear witness to the superiority of my captions. I am putting my blog where my mouth is.
