A man and a woman stand on a path beside a tall, roughly carved stone monolith shaped like a vaguely human seated figure. The man asks, 'I don't get it. Why do liberal arts people have a tall statue of a famous physicist, carved from a single rock?' The woman replies flatly, 'Then you are not welcome inside.' A caption reads: 'Anyone who does not appreciate the one-stone Einstein monolith is not allowed in Etymology Club.' The joke is a pun: 'one-stone Einstein' echoes 'Einstein' (German for 'one stone') and the wordplay-loving Etymology Club. In the votey aftercomic, the woman, gesturing at a sketch of the same stone figure, adds the further pun: 'It was carved by exactly one man named Pierre' (Pierre meaning 'stone').
