My most favorite AFP photo and caption of all time. How many of us, at one time or another, tried for that casual, effortless look but ended up feeling and looking a bit strained?? Love the comments too!
The worst part is…he’s not a bad looking guy and that would have been a great pic if he had just leaned casually against the railing. Why he thought this was a better pose is beyond me.
OMG I do the same thing all the time but kind of differently, but it’s like the same in the sense that it’s meant to be casual but then it’s not comfortable. I do it more with leaning my whole body at a very large angle, like this: wall —> | \ <— me, leaning very awkwardly against the wall. And none of my friends thought it was funny, even though I thought it was, and they just made fun of me. And now here you are some random dude from the internet with the same sense of humor as I have. In fact, my friend showed me this image because when he saw it, he was like, this is totally you. And I was like, yeah it totally is.
Reminds me of scene in movie On Golden Pond, when Dabney Coleman (?) is standing on pier when Jane Fonda returns to shore on the mail boat. He puts one foot on the boat while his other foot is still on the pier, but the boat keeps drifting out so he falls in the lake.
For me, the best part about this photo was the DRAMA that can only be had when using that ridiculous clicker on a laptop to scroll down, starting from the top…reasonable (click, click)…reasonable (click, click), reasonable (click, click)…HOLEY MOLEY!!!
Good point Filipino! I bet when he’s having a conversation with someone in the locker room standing like that, he’ll go “I’m sure you see my point on the matter.” and the other person will go “Your point is the only thing I can see right now, guy.” LOL
that’s most likely a Holland America cruise ship, the Assembly Station 4 sign behind him is very like their signs. he’s standing underneath all the rescue boats they keep on board the ship, in case the ship sinks.
Yup, Holland America. Prolly like the 3rd floor (it was on my boat over christmas). Smoked cigarettes on that deck daily so I know it well I was hoping someone would’ve pointed that out!

That’s not awkward! That’s…um…wait, yes it is. Totally.
Clearly, he’s a professional sock model.
A real-life Michael Scott, Regional Manager of Dunder-Mifflin. lol
I don’t get the problem. I stand like this all the time!!

With utter smuggness uncle John then whent on to fart god save the queen.
Go for it!
I deduce that he’s got a LOT of captain in him!
Best. Reply. Ever
Harpo lives!
LIMBO!!
I love how he went for the gold. There are multiple rails he could have more comfortably used, but this man equals winner.
My thoughts exactly *rofl*
Brian thought this was a good idea to begin with.. but it was only after his leg got stuck up there that he had second thoughts..
what the heck lol I LOVE it
I think its the short trousers and the socks that do it for me.
With a leg-up like that, any pair of trousers will end up looking like capri pants!

This comment cracked me up. Thank you for the descriptive drawing. AWESOME
Ahoy, is that an iceberg I see off the portside?

OMG, I can not tell you hard I was laughing after that comment! I had to leave my desk and go to the bathroom just to calm down!
This is my favorite! Hilarious caption!

spot on caption, hahaha!
He could just be flexible.
Looking at his clothes I can really remember of Michael Jackson….look at his foots!!!
ROFL
pic made my day
That is unreasonable!
This guy definitely air dries in the Men’s Locker Room while talking on his bluetooth headset.
Good point Filipino! I bet when he’s having a conversation with someone in the locker room standing like that, he’ll go “I’m sure you see my point on the matter.” and the other person will go “Your point is the only thing I can see right now, guy.” LOL
Nice socks, are they wool?
Why?
This is awesome! Love the caption.
This caption is pure hilarity:)
this is by far the best photo i’ve seen yet!! the caption makes it so much funnier hahahaha
hahahahahhahaa
HOW DID HE GET HIS LEG UP THERE?!??!
hahahahahahah
best caption and such a great photo- my favourite
The caption is golden.
I love it.
Ahahaha!!
This is the best one I’ve seen so far.
My personal favorite photo on the site. I can’t stop laughing. Nominate for hall of fame.
Does he really think that looks casual? Uh-huh. THat’s what he told himself!
Well that looks comfortable and natural.
hmm the riggings above him look like compound bows >.>
omg that caught me by surprise and made me laugh. Too funny. Nice job.
does look like a compound bow at that

I was hoping someone would’ve pointed that out!
That railing was a little higher than it first appeared, and a bit more uncomfortable than he would have liked…
It’s like Monty Python’s “Silly Walk”, but instead it’s a “Silly Pose”.
This pic has probably cracked me up the most so far on the site. You can see how the guy thought this would be a good idea in THEORY…
YES. He could definitely work at the Ministry of Silly Walks!
Actually, this pic was taken at the Ministry of Silly Walks annual Employee Retreat.
It’s a neat shot (the background) and a nice-looking guy, but that pose! I wonder if he thought it was natural… Too funny!
Hey, he must have thought “people who do the shelf in the air look dumb, so I’ll look really smart “
Ah, feel that ocean breeze! My father always said it had a “tightening” effect, but I never quite understood until now.
You WIN!
I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggone it, people like me!
Nicely done. lol!
Now THIS one really cracked me up!
Me, too. I actually cried. WONDERFUL caption!! Ahahahahaha!!!
I wonder if he does that at the urinals too? Y’know, just kinda hoists that leg up on to the top of the other pisser and lets her rip?
LMAO!
You mean you’re not supposed to raise your leg uncomfortably high when you want to express casualness.
hahahahaha
