I have here in my hands- well, in my Flickr account- an astonishly astonishing photo of astonishing proportions. (To be exact, [two](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9624983@N05/3669228025/in/photostream/) [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9624983@N05/3670035032/in/photostream/)- I’m not sure [del]witch[/del] which to use).
Of course, a picture like this screams for a witty caption. But alas, I have not been able to think of a good one. That is why I turn to you, Netizens of the Straight Dope, for help with making a funny photo into an epically funny photo.
Ready, set, submit! Winner gets [del]a Ferrari[/del] the warm feeling of having their their wit on display [del]for eternity[/del] for the people on my email list.
Note: This is NOT a LOLCAT. It is not intended to be a LOLCAT. You can post LOLish comments if you like, but I won’t end up using them.

Not only are you going to New Hampshire, you’re going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and you’re going to California and Texas and New York … And you’re going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan, and then you’re going to Washington, D.C.,
Feed me that shit again and you will be without a broom over Iraq!
Yeaaaaaaaah!

That would be for the second picture. The first would be some kind of incantation or magic word that would normally make her broom fly. In a three panel comic,
Panel 1: {pic 1)“They think they can get away from me? Fly, broom!”
Panel 2: (pic 2, no caption)
Panel 3: {pic 2) “D’oh! I always forget to change back [to human form] before I try to fly this thing!”

1. “C’mon Endora. We’re gonna be late for the Halloween Ball!”
2. “Happens every time. She rushes me to get ready and I end up waiting for her to ‘put on her face’. Witch!!”
