Today, The New Yorker published the finalists for this week’s cartoon caption contest…
- “You call that pushing?”
- “It gets easier the second time.”
- “Just lean in.”
- “May I offer you a clean diaper?”
Okay, I’m stretching the truth. That last one is the caption I submitted. It wasn’t selected.
I’m sure a bazillion people entered the contest.
Nevertheless, I’m curious… which one do you think is funniest? Or funny at all?
“It gets easier the second time”, because it’s a wretched lie often stated like a truism.
