Sisyphus Has Returned

Sisyphus? Not heard that name in a long time.

A photograph shows a large stone object shaped like a helmet or head, with a cigarette tucked into a narrow horizontal slit. The joke treats this ancient-looking stone as Sisyphus, making a playful reference to the Greek myth of endless, pointless labor. It is used as an absurd reaction to seeing someone or something return to a familiar cycle of suffering.
