THIS WEEK'S CARTOON

snake.jpg

Send your entries to jokesonyou@news-record.com

Welcome to the News & Record's "Jokes on You" page. Each week I'll post the new cartoon for your caption consideration (see above) and post the previous week's cartoon, the winning entries and all the other entries (see below). I will also try to talk a little about what I liked about the captions I chose and why I thought they worked. Feel free to post comments and ask questions. And remember, this is for entertainment purposes only, so please, no wagering.

Maybe Nancy Nelson summed it up best with this caption entry: “Tim, this stinks.” This week’s really had you guys struggling. Even with the extra time and about double the normal amount of entries didn’t help. A lot of “two heads are better that one” captions, as well as “no intelligent life” references. So I did what I always do in these situations - I go for the juvenile humor. But a lot of good inside jokes and obscure cultural references, though. See below.
