Given a cartoon image and a caption. Caption: Due to financial difficulties, several board members have taken on additional duties. Question: Generating an explanation of why this image/caption combination is funny. Answer: 
assistant
If a company was experiencing financial difficulties, board members wouldn't be making as much money: this joke takes that to a funny extreme --- the executives have become window cleaners for the building their company is in, even though board members are usually millionaires. It's funny because they are still attending the board meeting, but from their window washing platform outside.
