So the answer isn't just "write suck-ass captions"?

So the answer isn't just "write suck-ass captions"?

By now you've all seen Slate's article on How to win the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest. Maybe you also read this Q&A with with Farley Katz, the New Yorker assistant who reads all the caption entries. And yet, maybe you still have questions.

Well, I met Farley last night at a party, and he agreed to answer them for you (like, cartoon editor Bob Mankoff, he's a fan of the anti-caption contest). Post your questions in the comments, or e-mail them to me, and I'll pass them along. To save you time, he has already agreed to answer the top two: Why didn't you choose my caption? and Why do all the captions you do choose suck?
