First Day Car Salesman Misunderstands Cargo Space Pun Meme

This comedic meme depicts a relatable scenario of a new car salesman making an absurd mistake on his first day of work. The text at the top sets up the scene: a customer asks the salesman about the car's cargo space, and the salesman misinterprets the word 'cargo' as the phrase 'car go', so he replies that the car cannot fly, mistakenly thinking the customer is asking if the car can travel to outer space. The final line of text shows the manager asking the salesman to come to his office, implying the salesman will be reprimanded for his foolish error. The photograph below the text shows a car salesman in a suit pointing at a silver car while speaking to a male and female customer, which matches the scenario described in the text. The core humor comes from the homophone pun between 'cargo' (referring to storage space in a vehicle) and the phrase 'car go'.
