What seems to be the problem here?

What seems to be the problem here?

It’s time for another Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest. I’ve got another original cartoon in dire need of a warped caption. (Image after jump.) The rules are simple: just type a witty caption (you are allowed three submissions) in the comment section, along with a valid email address, and you could win a $10 cash prize. I will accept entries until midnight, Friday, June 5th, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, June 8th, 2009. So please, show no mercy – but if you feel the need to use foul language, I must request that you save it for your next therapy session.

Here’s a chance to vote for your favorite caption from last week’s “Packing Cat” contest.
