It’s time for yet another edition of “Things Maybe We Should Have Explained in the Caption, but Didn’t.” We see this race driver sliding along a river of champagne, and our caption just says he “slips down from the podium as he celebrates finishing second place.” This raises questions…
- Shouldn’t a real race driver be able to stand on a podium?
- Was this just another of those champagne tragedies, which mortify thousands of athletes every year?
- It appears at least TWO bottles were involved. Was this a conspiracy? Were other drivers hurling their bottles while he couldn’t defend himself?
- Let’s face it. Should he really be this tickled about second place?

At least the tight-fitting, multicolored advertisement coverall doesn’t make him look effeminate. Oh, wait…

Thats well impressive he can breakdance and celebrate his victory by poring champagne over himself at the same time! Does he teach lessons? If so where do I sign up.
