Ski gymnastics gone wrong

I thought we'd have a look at the winter olympics - specifically, that event where the skiers do the jump, then somersault then inevitably splat into the snow. The winning punchline was submitted by mammakins. There were 13 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #460 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2006-02-21.
