Now we know why they all went extinct.

All except the gators and crocs, Chuck liked them. For his boots.

Alas, poor Gherkin, I knew him well.

(apologies if the language is inappropriate)

Is this funny? If so, how so? What am I missing?

Thanks,

That's Wilford Brimley's head that's Photoshopped into the pic. He's in TV ads for some place that works with Medicare or Medicaid and will mail you your diabetes supplies.

And he pronounces it "di-uh-bee-tus" in the ads:

In addition to the way Wilford pronounces diabeetus, there is the joke of the shirt and original photo. An internet meme, of sorts, exploiting and poking fun at an image from facebook of a guy who thought words on a shirt would bring attention to his male parts.
