Special Note!
Our contest this week led to a great non-caption submission sent to us from the demand planning team at Graybar, who it turned out just happened to have taken a recent photo very much in line with this latest cartoon caption contest.
We thank them for this photo,which includes several frequent caption contributors from the Graybar team. We would love to hear from others out there!
