This photo posted on Economist.com (from Agence France-Presse) makes me wish I were better at reading body language.

I’m going to shamelessly rip off The New Yorker‘s cartoon caption contest and ask readers to submit their preferred caption. The best caption wins one of those prized pieces of Freakonomics schwag.

Mull this one over during Thanksgiving dinner, and I’ll return with the contest winner next week.

Addendum: The winners are announced here.
