WTF? Caption Contest

I don't know what/how to explain or caption this photo - a love triangle, a family pic (both men are company-grade officers and don't seem to be father/son), and what's with the woman's pose? And I thought I looked like a dork in my high school yearbook... and no, don't ask to see it for comparison.

"Comrade Photographer is hereby awarded the governmental award Order "Red Banner Of Labour" for 200% productivity during the Stalinist Photographic Campaign. His photographic sessions of two portraits at once are the manifestation of Marxist-Leninist productivity and honouring the motherland. As with other photographs of the Stalinist Campaign people can be edited out as officially needed."

Re: WTF? Caption Contest

I'm with Ed -definitely mother and sons. The one on the left has her chin and the one on the right has her eyes (not terribly flattering for any of them).

Perhaps: "Hey Moe (or 'Ma'), whatcha doing?" "I'm doing the elevator dance." "Elevator dance?" "Yeah, there's no steps to it."
