I'm not saying that's the case here, but I'd find little difficulty reproducing the image using a second layer in ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR. That fact doesn't dampen the humor abit methinks!

That's fun. Agree it would be an easy image to fake.

Oh my! I would say, "too soon," but it has been a long year and we take what we can get.

Has anyone else paused to sample the gallows humor this piece offers? It's hidden in the reverse.

I'll wait before I spill -- see if another poster has caught on.

I posted this pic I photoshopped on 3-13-20 someplace.
Not funny for me anymore. I'm sick of it all.

Okay, enough of my silliness! What I see in the original post is an extremely carefully chosen coin.

In the search to place Covid-19 blame, the first stop was the virology lab at Wuhan. It was an escaped man-made biological weapon. No. Geneticists proved Covid-19 came from nature.

Next stop, pangolins, an endangered species of mammals clad in scales and ingested as medicine in rural China. Nope. They all test negative.

Last stop: bats. Current belief is they were the virus's last stop in nature before devising a path - yet undiscovered - to human cells. I deem that to be someone's gallows humor.

I'm a dolt here. Don't understand " he didn't do it with a W quarter!"

Didn't he do (it) with a Washington quarter?
Rest in Peace

I find it interesting how they polished the nose and mouth away.

I agree with TNG, Not funny for me anymore. I'm sick of it all.
