What do you not want to do when it comes to giving an emo a job?
Showing them the ropes.
The joke plays on the double meaning of 'showing them the ropes'. In a work context it means to train someone, while for someone who is emo, 'the ropes' might refer to hanging. The humor is dark and morbid because it suggests suicide.
