Overview
This is a pun-based dad joke meme. The top text poses the question: 'Hey boss, what tree has rainbow roots?'. The main image shows a construction/electrical worker holding an exposed, frayed underground electrical cable that was dug up in a dirt trench; the exposed inner wires of the cable are multiple different colors, which look just like branching tree roots. The bottom text gives the punchline answer: 'Idk, Electricitree', which is a portmanteau pun combining the words 'electricity' and 'tree'.
