Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 123

                                      “Lady, I don’t pick the music!”

                                                (by Tim Collins)

 

My original caption: “Eighth floor . . . Complaint Department.”

 

A resounding third win for Tim Collins! Congratulations, Tim, you can once again bask in the glory of being one of the funniest people around.

 

Not much action on this particular drawing — what’s happening, captioneers? In any event, these are the other submissions that I was considering for top honors:

“It’s not my fault the complaint department is off on Monday!” (by Brendan Gannon)

“I guess I just have a way of pushing peoples buttons!” (also by Tim Collins)

“I still cannot believe they are real.” (by Diane)

“Madam, I swear this elevator always gets stuck between floors.” (by Rich Wolf)

“I don’t choose the elevator music ma’am.” (by Segie Tvizer — a caption that was very close to the winning caption, but Tim Collins got it with slightly better wording)

Thanks for participating — a new contest will be up in just a couple of weeks.
