A man lays on a hammock between two construction beams as a man looks on. The man in the hammock is wearing a tropical shirt and looks comfortable. The other man is wearing a suit.
People do not lay on hammocks at construction sites. It is dangerous to do so.
Why is the man laying on a hammock?
Brother, can you spare a lime?

A play on "brother, can you spare a dime?" which is a song about economic hardship that came out during the great depression. Instead of asking for a meager amount of money, this beggar, who doesn't seem to be in dire financial straits and is instead on some type of tropical vacation in the subway, is asking for a lime, which is a superfluous garnish for his leisurely beverage. The contrast between the vacation depicted and the poverty of the original song is funny.
