Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 220

No Michelin rating, but we did get 5 stars from Bridgestone.”

(by Mark S.)

 

My original caption: “The entrees with asterisks are digitally enhanced.”

 

Congratulations, Mark S., on your second Caption Contest victory. Your first was not that long ago, in Contest No. 199. You have once again proved to be one of the funniest people around, and you are entitled to shout it from the rooftops. Keep up the good work!

As I was reading some of your submissions, Captioneers, I felt like I was receiving a real “French Lesson”, much like June Allyson sang to Peter Lawford in “Good News” (love that film!).

Here are the other captions that I was seriously considering for top honors:

“If you have to ask the price, sir, you are in the wrong restaurant.” (by Diane Weisman)

“Social Security number, please.” (by Michael Lomazow)

“You never know when prices may rise, so order fast.” (also by Michael Lomazow)

“If you have to ask the price of a special, you can’t afford it.” (by Joe Ayella)

“Might I interest you in something other than the company that printed the menu?” (by Scott Malcolm)

“Gluten-free, extra gluten, or gluten on the side?” (also by Joe Ayella)

“Everything is good here except your French.” (by Pat Foley)

“We have found that menus without prices reduce 911 calls.” (by Lee Lacewell)

“No, that description of the avocado toast was not meant to be a funny cartoon caption, Sir.” (by Sharon)

 

Don’t be discouraged, Captioneers — Contest No. 221 will be posted in due time and the title of “one of the funniest people around” will once again be up for grabs. Thanks for participating. Hope you all have a grand, festive holiday season and enjoy a Happy and Healthy 2025.
