Glenn\u2019s drawing, formally dressed servers carrying silver trays sit in or pass through a waiting area. One has a basketball on his tray. Another has what I first thought was a high-top sneaker but on closer inspection appears to be a boot\u2014look at the sole. The other two have more traditional offerings (bottles of champagne; something under a silver dome). The waiter holding the basketball is speaking to the one with the silver dome.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on the basketball, I first thought this drawing was a comment on the extraordinary salaries earned by some players (e.g., The Golden State Warriors\u2019 Stephen Curry): <strong>\u201cHow else can he spend $40,000,000 a year?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had no other thoughts, as this is one of the most challenging drawings I\u2019ve ever seen. How is one supposed to address the servers, the basketball, and the boot? It\u2019s almost like Glenn was trying to draw a caption-proof cartoon.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s see how you did.<\/p>\n<p>Several of you commented solely on the difficulty of this week\u2019s contest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cDo you have any idea what this cartoon is about?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI think I&#8217;ll just sit out this week&#8217;s contest.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI believe they are running out of ideas for this contest.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a few of you, the drawing suggested that top basketball players make too much money:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cThey literally expect us to hand them everything on a silver platter.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI don&#8217;t see how you can connect all this with income inequality.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI know it&#8217;s not my place, but I think the NBA should reconsider salary caps.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That last caption is clever but too long. The first nine words only get in the way of a good joke.<\/p>\n<p>This next entry suggests that basketball players receive not only too much money but too much adulation: <strong>\u201cHall-of-too-much-Fame if you ask me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following captions all refer to the trick of spinning a basketball on one\u2019s index finger:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cBut, can you spin it?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cNow just with your index finger.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cThey have great finger rolls.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That last caption doubles as the week\u2019s best pun.<\/p>\n<p>The week\u2019s only sex joke is truly vulgar, but because it addresses both the basketball and waiters, I\u2019m including it: <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u201cA customer wants to know if we have any ball sauce.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These entries focus on the footwear:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cWho\u2019s getting the boot?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cSomeone is about to get the boot.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cLooks like somebody\u2019s about to get the boot.\u201d <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cWe&#8217;ll show them gamey and leathery, won&#8217;t we?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cThere&#8217;s well done, and then there&#8217;s tough as leather.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cGives an entirely new meaning to sole.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of you acknowledged the surreal nature of the drawing by including a reference to the Belgian painter whose bizarre paintings challenged perceptions of reality: <strong>\u201cI feel like I&#8217;m in a painting by Rene Magritte.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0NCAA Division I Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament, a single-elimination event that\u2019s held each spring in the United States, is commonly known by a name that captures the insanity of the scene depicted in this week\u2019s cartoon<strong>:<\/strong><strong> \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s March Madness.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This entry has the man who\u2019s balancing a basketball on a silver tray counting his blessings: <strong>\u201cThank God he&#8217;s not a bowler.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each of the next four captions alludes to both basketball and fine dining:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cIt&#8217;s a Spalding &#8217;72.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cTable 6 needs an icepack.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cThe jock strap pairs well with blue Gatorade.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cA little secret. All the wine is actually Gatorade.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019d like that last caption better without the first sentence, which is unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, here are a couple of entries that don\u2019t fit neatly into any category:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cIt&#8217;s not what we serve, it&#8217;s how we serve it.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI hope I get the job.
