Cartoon Contest

Every week The New Yorker prints a cartoon and invites its readers to supply a caption for it. (I have not been able to win that contest.) 

In today’s blog I am going to reverse the process; I will supply a caption, and, since I can’t draw, describe the drawing that should go along with it.
