'New Yorker' Turkey Cartoon Caption Contest
In this week's New Yorker food issue, the cartoon caption contest involves a man holding a big turkey under his arm. Got a good caption idea? According to a Slate piece earlier this year, you want to get inside the man's head and make sense of his bird-holding beliefs and intentions.
Finalists for this week's cartoon will appear online Monday, December 1 and in the December 8 print issue.

How about:
"I knew Ted was upset, but he didn't have to give me the bird!" ?

I already submitted one, but thought of another.
"On the way to the annual Sexual Harassment in The Workplace seminar, politically incorrectly naive Tom asks John if he prefers white meat or dark meat."
damn the one entry only rule!!!

Jim didn't have the heart to tell Steve that he can't keep this turkey as a pet.

I was able to submit two (not sure how, but it worked!):
"I told mom I'd take care of the turkey this year."
OR
"Evidently, Martha Stewart said to brian the turkey for 48 hours. So, my mom called and said, 'Hey Brian, can I ask you a favor?'..." (funnier when said with a West Virginia accent!)

"I wish my hands were as small as a turkey's leg bones....oh wait."

"I thought if it would work best if I quit Cold Turkey."

Haha I like both of JudgeFudge's captions.
Mine was: "Dude, the office Thanksgiving potluck was last week."
