Caption the Political Photo: Stephen Harper meets Rob Ford

Think you can fill the speech bubbles better than us? Give it a shot in the comments section.

Ahhhh, it's been far too long since we've had a round of Caption the Political Photo!

Our last outing saw Dear Leader, er, Prime Minister Stephen Harper shaking hands with the Dalai Lama. This time we have him engaged in what may be the most awkward handshake of all time with Toronto mayor Rob Ford.

Here's how our photo-caption contest works. If you were Harper and/or Ford, what would you be saying in this picture? Tell us in the comments section below or on our Facebook page.

We'll repost the photo tomorrow (July 26) using our favourite submission.

Update (July 26): And the winner is... HellSlayerAndy in our comments section. (Although Birdy's "sacred reptile baby" comment was a very close second.) Thanks everyone for playing!

Ford: I dig the array of vests in your wardrobe. I hear they're very slimming?

Harper: Stick to imitating my political style and not my fashion.
