We had a blast carving through more than 100 entries for this issue’s Easter Island-themed cartoon caption contest. Now we’re between a rock and a hard place trying to figure out which of these three captions should get ahead of the rest. We want your help to determine the winner. The caption that gets the most votes will appear in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

Vote in the cartoon poll for one of the captions listed below:

• “As you can see, Judge Stone had a monumental career.” —Submitted by Frank M. Kocs of Paso Robles, California

• “According to the local legend, a genie granted this judge one wish, and the judge said: ‘Normally I like beer, but I always wanted to know what it felt like to get stoned.’ ” —Submitted by Charles Bender of Warrington, Pennsylvania

• “His job is to deal with all of the ‘head cases’ on the island.” —Submitted by Kim R. Walberg of Chicago

How to vote: Using our poll, select the caption you think best fits the scene depicted in the cartoon.

Voting period: The poll closes at 11:59 p.m. CT on Sunday, Feb. 24.
