He’s having a barrel of fun.

Must be good enough, those barrels don’t come cheap.

I’ve always wondered why destitute people are depicted wearing a barrel in comics inasmuch as it makes no sense whatsoever logically. Upon researching it, it turns out no one really knows how this came about. The best guess is that it originated in the 1920s in the comic strip Moon Mullins who would occasionally gamble all his money away and end up wearing nothing but a barrel.

Why won’t someone buy the nothing I bought for more than I paid for it?

News item says; Napolean Musk goes from $400 billion to $138 billion, net worth.

How does it feel to lose $262 billion?

To be honest……not so good!

@Patjade- That’s why it doesn’t pay to jump on every new fad that comes out.
