Saying a picture is worth a thousand words is an oft-used cliche, but it seems to apply to this photo of disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

The shot, taken by Brian Kersey for Getty Images, caught Blagojevich as he was leaving his home Thursday morning through a back alley-- and passing by a city rat control sign.

If any picture cried out for a Huffington Post Caption Contest it's this one.

The rules are simple:

Write whatever you think is the best caption for the photo in the comments section below. Avoid profanity and stupidity. And check back Friday at 6 p.m. CST to see the winner.
