It's caption contest time again! The June issue of the GPWA Times magazine includes a cartoon that depicts a scenario most of you are familiar with. If you work as an online gambling affiliate, you've heard the question hundreds -- or maybe even thousands -- of times. "What is it exactly that you do for a living?"

Pictured in this thread is a GPWA member who is attending a family reunion when the subject comes up once again. What's being said here? Well, we want to leave that up to you. Within this thread, submit a witty caption for this cartoon. The GPWA staff will pick the one that made us laugh the hardest and print it in the next issue of the magazine. Good luck! read more
