After a long days work, these guys are cleaning up after setting concrete pillars to prevent people from parking on the sidewalk outside a sports bar.

hahaha, I bet they got fired after that. It takes a lot to get those pillars out of the ground. They have steel rods in them going deeeeep down.

Or that. I wonder which one would cost more.

I'd leave the van. It's not worth it :)

Or maybe carry it out in pieces?

i'm pretty sure this one was debunked on this forum not too long ago. i remember DB pointing out some serious holes in the photoshopping, though i don't remember what they were.

Now that it's been mentioned, I noticed that the bottom post doesn't have the same indentation as all the others at it's base..

It may have been photoshopped but I have known people who would do things like that every one of their "work" days.

alright this is obviously p-chop'd... even the most unskilled laborer in the world would not be dumb enough to do something of the sort...

edit - besides that, what are these guys even doing, not layin concrete becuase they wouldnt be there, as for the pillar? which are you talking about, they are already in place... p-chopped if id say so

yea, i remember this being here before. i believe the thread ended with the joke supposed to be that they put the polls in all around them, but they are actually laying concrete or something similar.

but i still stand by my question, and that if that was photoshopped, and nothing actually funny happened. than why did someone take the picture?

Much humor revolves around artificial, made up situations. Watch any TV comedy to see that. Even if the photo was "enhanced" with Photoshop, it is still funny. Think of it as a visual sitcom! :D

Blonde Men?

You just mean 'drivers' right? I think when people get in their cars, their IQ drops about 20 points. Of course the average person is clinically retarded at this point, but then the average drivers is too, so that makes a lot of sense.
