Continuing or popular series "Visual IQ," we present for analysis these two photographs.

Ignore who these three guys are for the moment. Who looks more interested? The guy on the right in both photographs looks bored out of his mind, like he'd rather be any other place doing any other thing than shaking hands with the other two guys. In the top photo the guy on the left looks like he's just received his university diploma and is excited to be shaking hands with the Dean. The guy in the background in the top photo looks intimidated, defensive. I guarantee he's got his hands folded over his crotch because he's self-conscious about his small pee-pee. The guy on the left in the bottom photo is the same as the guy in the background at top. Now he looks obsequious, leaning forward slightly as if he's about to bow and the guy on the right is turning away from him as if thinking "Oh jeez, this is the guy with the small dick."

Unfortunately the guys on the left are Americans, Gary Locke at top, Ambassador to the People's Republic of China, and Jacob Lew, Secretary of the Treasury. And the guy on the right is Chinese president Xi Jinping. These photographs were taken at the start of a meeting on trade and economic issues between the two countries. Gary, Jack, how are those talks going?
