Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I know it's a joke. I get the joke. My question is: Is it an actual photo of a real product that has been memed into a joke and what is the actual product/device used for? Ice on props is a very real problem. And based on the apparent age of the photo, I wondered if it was something used to combat ice on a prop prior to flight. As in, the chain would prohibit ice from forming and that any ice that did form would be removed when the chain was removed prior to flight.

It could not possibly work. So, no, it's not an actual product. It was created to get a laugh, nothing more. I feel like:

So a chain on the prop installed prior to icing could not and would not prevent ice from forming on the prop and, additionally, it would not remove ice that may have formed on the prop, and chain, when the chain was removed?

About as good as a chain on a boat propeller. . .

Are you drunk or high? It was done as a joke...nothing more.

It is genuine. You'll find them at Ace hardware...right next to the sky hooks.
 
Well, apparently I'm not describing what I mean is such a way that you understand what I'm asking. In no way do I believe the chain would be left on the prop while in use during flight. Also, it's clear you have no understanding how ice effects a prop or wing. Or that I'm just inquiring out of curiosity beyond the meme. Thanks for your help though.
 
@Jefe's Dope people before color film had a sense of humor too brother.
I'm beginning to think his mom and dad did too.

You must be an engineer.

My wife today, when we were moving and re-stacking lumber we had sawed last year, said: “That’s the reason you can’t ever get help for projects, you’re a perfectionist” 😆

This was said in response to my insistence that the lumber be straight and each board not be touching another (Spaced with scrap).

I waited a few moments and nodded then replied “if doing something right is a vice, I’m happy to be an outlaw”. She tried to not let me see her grin 🥰 I love that woman.

No, it never existed, and would not prevent ice formation. It is one of many comedic/satirical postcards created by Paul and Laurie Stanton of Duckboy cards.

This is the reason I did 95% of the work on my "modular office to house" conversion by myself. I had lots of offers of help, I took the offers a couple times, this lead to much cussing and "reworking" those things that I had "help" with.

The wife kept trying to get me to "let them help".
"If I keep letting them help me, I'll never finish."

This is a group of “shoeshine boys”. They leave their home in the mountains as early as 10 years old and go to a city where they are “taken in” by a leader who loans them what they need to work. They are basically homeless and are used to make the leader relatively wealthy.

Wouldn't work. Joke, like relative bearing grease for sailors. I'm a pilot and understand icing. That is by no means a prerequisite to understanding how goofy your question is. :)
