New Yorker caption cartoon book

Everybody's got at least one good gag in them, right?

I'm one of those few super-intelligent and attractive people who generally doesn't laugh at the New Yorker cartoons that run in the magazine. Yet, our brethren at our sister company (brethren at sister company, wha?), Andrews McMeel Publishing have published an amazing collection of caption contest winners.

Everyday people who have displayed deft humor skills. These people could be anything in real life: accountants, lawyers, generals, miners, rabbit farmers, cobblers, millers, coopers, you name it ... but for one shining moment, they touched the humor apex.

Now, I laughed at almost every gag ... and many times not at the winning caption (they show 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place). So my hat's off to them ... and my hair is now a mess because of it.

Somebody bring me a comb and some rubber cement,  please!

I'm not so sure about those other professions, but I've heard coopers are a barrel of laughs.
