“Where all the white women at?”

Think you’re funny enough to be the next Margaret Cho? Well, now’s your chance to prove it to the world. Write your best caption for the above photo of what we assume are 3 German rocket scientists enjoying a day at the pool, and if we think it’s the funniest, we’ll send you off a $25 iTunes gift certificate.

Leave your caption in the comments below. The contest is open to everyone, anywhere, and runs until Monday (Jan 14th) at 9PM EST. You can enter more than once if you are feeling “Carrot Top“-prolific. Good luck.

[UPDATE: We have a winner! The winning caption was "Where all the white women at?", sent in by Brian. Yes, it was the stupidest, and had the least to do with the actual picture, but it was the one that made pretty much everyone here laugh out loud. Perhaps our being big Blazing Saddles fans helped influence the decision, but what can we say? We're immature idiots here, and funny is funny.

So congrats, Brian. Assuming you used a valid e-mail address, your gift certificate is on its way! We'd like to thank everyone who sent in a caption, and we had fun with this, so we'll see if we can't make this a regular contest here. If you have a suggestion for an amusing photo that needs a caption, please send it to us.]

    4. The South Atlantic Double-Headed Electric Shark is as rare as it is deadly, yet these quaint Germans have captured this majestic king of the southern Atlantic and used him as a power source. Unbeknownst to them, they are in grave and mortal danger. For this prince of the seas they have captured and tortured has a deadly trait: a spot-on Pauly Shore imitation. It’s a researched FACT Germans can’t stand Pauly Shore.
