Do you get this joke?

I had to check the comments to understand the last panel.

English can be punny.

It's a play on words. To pay = Toupée.

Oh, that makes better sense than the explanation some French-speaking gave...

But in the end did he pay or not? That's what confused me

 

[belamyi]

That, and the fact that I hadn't read "to pay", just assumed the idea...

He paid with the shame unintentionally cast upon him by the waiter. Even though the waiter was bald too.

But the waiter was asking the customer to do one thing, not two.

My observation that the waiter was also bald was separate from the gist of the joke.

I meant the waiter was asking the customer only to pay, not to pay AND put on a toupee.
So, if we see him putting on a toupee, he still has not paid the bill.

Where do you think he got the money for the toupee?

Where do you think he got the money for the toupee?

Where do you take the notion that he paid for it?

I think the discussion stemming from this comic has far exceeded its relevance.

 

[belamyi]

Was there ever any relevance in this thread in the first place?

 

[Peloso]

You tell me. It's your thread.

 

[belamyi]

It's your relevance scale

 

[Peloso]

Are you thinking of buying a toupee?

May I suggest this one?

I know how much you like gingers.

I prefer the merkin part of gingers... with the whole ginger mandoll attached.

Are there wigs for armpits? Do they have a name too?
