Two men are standing in front of a clerk at a desk. They're holding signs that say in and out.
The signs are a little bit odd, but not exactly out of place.
Why are they holding the signs?
Last internship I was a coatrack.

A joke about bad internship jobs taken to an extreme. These two interns act doing the menial task of holding in/out paperwork, which could easily be accomplished by a simple file folder or shelf. Accordingly, another job that could be done by a human that's usually done by an inanimate object is  holding up clothes like a coatrack. It's funny to think of how bad these people's internships are, which plays on the thankless nature of real internships in the real world.
