New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #190

I got my 401K statement 2 weeks ago, but I can't
seem to drum up the courage to actually open it.

The above is my entry for the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest for week #190. Let me know if you come up with a caption too. Mine is the sort of subtle humor the New Yorker is seeking, i.e. not that funny. Click on the link to enter your caption.


The above cartoon is from week #188. Below are the three captions chosen as the best submitted. My submission was, once again, not among them. Luckily, I'm not bitter.

"This song goes out to the one that got away." Submitted by Elisa Narsu, Basking Ridge, N.J.

"And every year they return to my piano to spawn and die." Submitted by Frank Bruno, Sacramento, Calif.

"Any requests before I tell you about tonight's specials?" Submitted by Brian Shuman, New York, N.Y.

My caption was, "Remember folks, this is a goldfish bar, so don't be koi." I know puns are the lowest form of humor, but I thought that was kind of funny.
