This week’s New Yorker caption contest features a cartoon depicting The Nine. The cartoon gets even further under their robes than Lat ever has.
We couldn’t get permission to post it, but it shows the high court taking a position that can only be described as post-coital. Check it out here.
We were disappointed in the captions chosen by the New Yorker editors, so we ran our own contest. Our top ten favorites after the jump.
