Stephen Harper. In a Zodiac. In a suit. Folks, this caption totally and completely writes itself – now get out there and write it!

* The winner of each week’s caption challenge, as declared by a jury of me (or, on occasion, a guest juror of considerable aplomb and free time), shall receive a prize valued in the tens of dollars – right up until we get a sponsor for this thing, at which time the prize will become actually worth winning. (Attention potential sponsors: This is what’s known in the business as a HINT.)

    Some sailors went to sea sea sea
    To see what they could see see see
    But all that they could see see see
    Was Steve, the leader of the C.P.C.

    Harper is given the somewhat dubious honour of filling the one role on board that doesn't require a lifejacket…being the anchor.
    PM;" Are you sure about this?
    Swabbies:" Oh yes sir… not to worry. We hardly ever need a storm anchor."

    Nobody had the heart to tell Stephen that the Beachcombers had been cancelled years ago.

    I know I'm obsessing, but seriously, do we know why the PM isn't wearing a life jacket?

    I'd be less concerned if he wasn't the only person not wearing a life jacket. Is it not required? More importantly, is it not prudent? It weirds me out a bit to see the leader of our government on a zodiac surrounded by naval personnel in life jackets, and he doesn't have a life jacket (also, btw, are those Navy personnel or Coast Guard? I presumed they're Navy and they're on their way to a ship, but a lot of people have referred to them as Coast Guard personnel).

    Don't get me wrong, I know the PM isn't in any real danger of drowning here. One of the men wearing a life jacket would SURELY save the Prime Minister if he went over the side. However, what if they hit a wave and he DID go over the side. How am I supposed to laugh at that if he's not wearing a flotation device of some sort? It's just not funny if there's actually real potential peril.

    Are life jackets not required? Did they simply not have one (it can't be that can it?). Was it offered and refused?

    I don't mean this as any sort of "attack" (on either Harper or those with him) but I find it slightly disconcerting that the leader of our government would be allowed on a zodiac at sea (that's the ocean right?) and everyone EXCEPT him gets a life jacket. Maybe I'm really obsessively nitpicking, but that seems like it'd be, you know, a thing.
