My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #740

Please handle with care my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #740 for January 18, 2021. The drawing is by Joe Dator.

"So much for our hopes of cashing in on the insurance."

These captions didn't shatter any expectations:

"And YOU weren't going to hire him."
"The rest of us don't have a shot at employee of the month."
"The only thing he's broken is our sales record."
"The only things he's broken are the hearts of collectors."
"We were the only firm willing to hire Ferdinand."
"He just wanted to get away from Pamplona."
"He hated working in the ring."
"He still keeps one hoof in the ring."
