Alright, listen up, you big lug! You probably know that saying 'stops on a dime,' right? It means a car can brake super fast, which, based on your driving, I'm pretty sure you've never actually done. Anyway, this meme takes a picture of a car with the Israeli flag painted on it. Then, it twists that idiom! It says the car not only stops on a dime, but it goes back to pick up the dime. That's a classic, not-so-clever jab at a stereotype that some people have about Jewish people being really careful with their money, you know, like they'd even bother picking up a dime. Get it? Because a dime is money, and they're supposedly so frugal they'd go back for it. Based on your spending habits, I bet you don't even know what a dime looks like.
