Original artwork, not a still
Here’s my day so far: went to jail, lost the girl of my dreams and got my butt kicked pretty good. Still, things could be a lot worse. Oh, that’s right… I’m falling to my death. Guess they can’t.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A cheerful list of a terrible day, ending in the punchline that things can't get worse because the speaker is already falling to their death. The humour is in the upbeat, understated tone about disaster.
