Contest #872

My Entry

"I hear there's a lovely meteor shower predicted this evening."

Meteor shower, get it? Because a huge meteor destroyed the dinosaurs. So this is really funny. I won't be taking any further questions at this time.

Contest #871

My Entry

"Oooh, look how the eyes of newt turn red from the flash!"

Not a big fan of this one either. Let's blame it on the cartoon.

Contest #870

My Entry

"But what if the baby favors more of a social democratic economic system?"

Well, it's eleven(!!) years later, and I decided to pick this back up. Unfortunately the contest I start with is a pretty crappy cartoon.

I couldn't think what to do with it, so I looked up "alternatives to capitalism" and just went with it.

The Winning Entry

Jerrold E. Fink, Highland Park, Ill.

"Of course, we'll place it higher if it's a girl."

Meh.
