Two dogs are barking at one another. Both are wearing cones that stop them from scratching.
The cone on one of the dogs is facing the wrong way, rendering it ineffective.
Why is the cone backwards?
I could never pull that off.

A play on the phrase "pull that off" --- to "pull off" an outfit usually means to wear it in a way that is beautiful/attractive. But here, while the dog is referring to a garment that the other dog is wearing, the correctly worn elizabethan collar, "pull that off" is literal because dogs are literally unable to to pull off a properly fitted elizabethan collar by design.
