A red-haired, red-bearded man in a suit holds a phone to his ear, looking blank. A speech bubble from the phone asks, "Is your refrigerator running?" He answers, "No..." The caller replies, "Then I hope you have dry rations!" A caption reads: "Prank calls became more somber after The Apocalypse." The joke twists the classic "is your refrigerator running" prank into bleak post-apocalyptic survival humor. Votey: handwritten text in a wavy box reads, "(The good news is that the voice on the phone is an hallucination.)"
