Welcome to the semi-finals of Xtreme Marco Polo…
What’s going on here? Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, it turns out you’d better redefine safe… It’s Friday, and you’ve already done enough work for “the man” this week, so have some fun writing a caption and send it to us via Post a Comment.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the pool!!
Never hire Stephen King as your water ballet coreographer.
But I don’t want to shave my armpits.
Mmmmm. Bob sushi.
What? It’s an aquatic mammal and this is for scientific research!
Just for a moment there, I thought you were a water chestnut.
When Woo works with Wei, what more would one wish?
Wait! I was born twenty-three years ago and that it NOT my umbilical cord.
Et tu, Brute?
MORTAL KOMBAAAATT!!
Ninjas Gone Wild!
Sun Hua became suspicious when the “rubber knife” didn’t have a rubber on it.
Even more upsetting is where he had it hidden.
I understand the need for knife training. I understand the need to train for water work. What I really wonder if there is a great need for knife training in the water. I mean, you are swimming across the Yu-Lao river with your bag of cash, your family jewels, or your CD or DVD collection and a mugger pops out of the water and takes them from you. Where is he gonna spend it? Are there wet fences? Is the community of Chinese Mafia based not at the harbor, but in the harbor? This is the kind of tax waste that makes for a weird and broke government.
Maybe its not so bad. At least its not a jar of piss with a statue of the Madonna floating around inside.
(In response to Shawn) While I agree with you about the government being weird and broke, training in the water offers more resistance and requires more force to do exercises, therefore making the officers faster and stronger on dry land.
I told you not to look, it shrivels in the water
