Yes, Yahoo and Microsoft did a deal. But what do the photos mean?

You'll have noticed that Microsoft is now going to be powering Yahoo's search. Well, it will be once the deal is done.

To celebrate, the two companies set up a joint website to announce it. And hey, just so that things look tickety-boo, they stuck some stock photos at the top of the page. Because, you know, a corporate announcement just doesn't look right unless it's got a picture of a man pointing at a screen and a woman happily receiving a pile of papers from a man.

Now, please, let's have your captions. We've hotlinked the photos; now tell us what the people in them are saying. Relevant to Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, search and advertising, please.

For example, No.1:
Her: "oh, great! thanks for those search results - I'll type them into the results window right away."

No.2
(OK, even I'm at a loss to know what the connection between a happy mother and daughter - childminder and girl? - is to Yahoo/Microsoft.)

No.3
Him: "According to that book by my keyboard, this answer is wrong. Someone on the internet is wrong."

Oh, come on, you can do far better. Have at them.
