My Best New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Entries of 2015

After almost three years of trying my hand at composing captions, it's pretty clear that I don't yet have what it takes to succeed in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest. Since none of my captions got it quite right, I have taken the liberty of choosing a sampling of this year's entries that are representative of my best not good enough efforts. Forgive me for not always having the mots justes at my command, but then I don't speak French. While this year I have gotten nowhere, at least I can pledge to do no worse next year.
