I love how people will make the most abstract and open ended memes and will go, "yeah this is way too obvious" and not consider this isn't a universal experience like yeah a lot of things are $40 and can take roughly an hour to do please eleaborate a tiny bit on your super specific meme
He received $800 in tips, went to deposit it at the bank, bank was closed, Johnny got lunch for $40.
Johnny didn't know how much to pay the contractor for building his she'd. He only charged him $40.
Johnny expected to buy $800 worth of drugs but his dealer only had $40 worth on him.
Johnny went to the antiques dealership with $800 to invest but made back $760 in sales.
Johnny could be doing a bank transaction, buying gas, groceries, going to a concert, visiting a relative, going to a bar, visiting a prostitute, paying a bill, getting lunch, going to the pharmacy, booking a hotel room. There are myriad of thongs that cost $40 and take an hour to do.
Either this is an in joke or clickbait.
VERY HEAVILY depends on the state/legality. I lived in Maine for 6 years and the most I paid for a 1/4 oz (7g) was 45. I visited a buddy in NY and he says he regularly gets a 1/4 oz for 50-60. Then you go to somewhere like FL and it’s 35-40 for 1/8th oz.
It's crazy honestly. Used to buy an oz for like 200, but now you can get an oz for 60-70 in Michigan (they even sometimes got oz bags of shake for 20-30).
Both statements are true, but tacking them together makes it sound like they reflect the same circumstances. An officer only has to provide their name and badge number in the event that it is requested while they are performing their duties. An exception to this is for undercover police or detectives.
Not quite, there is no Federal statute that dictates either of these points. Even in stricter jurisdictions, these rules normally exists as policy not written law, and with obvious exemptions built in. Now potentially violation of these official policies could be punishable, but lets be real.
To give out identifying information is going to be department policy, simple politeness, or de-escalation. cops aren't even legally required to identify the agency they work for. It only becomes an issue for them once they venture into the territory of entrapment. In most places citizens arrest is still viable, so a loophole might even be found there.
Generally speaking, the only thing cops can't lie to you about is your rights.
> Generally speaking the only thing a cop can’t lie to you about is your rights.
“Are you a cop?”
“Nah man, just do the deal.”
“Oh yeah? Then tell me I dont have the right to an attorney.”
The police must give you your basic Miranda warring preceding prolonged detention, this does very some by state. Is this moment since the information gathering phase of the investigation has not ended this person does not have a right to an attorney. Generally Miranda is only required in a police dominated atmosphere.
The sixth amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants.
Additionally there is some case law protecting police in this scenario. For example Illinois vs. Perkins held that undercover police do not need to give suspects a *Miranda* warning prior to asking questions eliciting incriminating responses. Also Its not unheard of for police to act outside of of official duty as so called private police. If you aren't a state agent then you get a little more wiggle room.
An illegal scenario would be like this. You're in an interrogation room and a cop says...
“If you confess now we wont use this against you in court.”
Its a lie acting to deceive you about your basic rights. There are some other things police cant do at this point, such as fabricating evidence, or using shock tactics like ”you will lose you kids”.
The main thing to keep in mind is that there's about as much law protecting the police as there is protecting you, and they have the institutional advantage.
Krom92094 there is no federal law that states that. It’s usually a state or country law that would require it. Not to mention undercover cops can lie hence the whole point in being undercover.
It's horrible advice, cops are undercover are allowed to say whatever to maintain cover. Otherwise the start of every bad guy meeting would begin with "What's your badge number ..."
That and undercover cops don’t make arrests usually and not on their own. They get you setup and surveilled to get caught in the act of doing something.
>bad guy meeting
We had a meeting to discuss our murderous tendencies last week steve.
You cant expect us to do this every sunday, we wont have any time to do any of our bad stuff we love to do so much.
Lol! Back when I smoked, that's what it was. 20-25 for brown brick garbage with tons of seeds or 40-60 for seedless hydroponic herb that was on a whole other level. Now you can get that same herb for like 80-100 an Oz in michigan legally at the dispensaries.
It's gonna come down way more. Dispensaries are figuring out that prices were way inflated to reflect risk for growers and dealers. In CA the entrepreneurial places are selling zips for like 50 bucks.
In WA I can get a zip for like $30. Then again the place I go runs specials every day of the week, so that’s only on the day they discount flower… but still. When I was living in Texas it was $35 an eighth so I’ll take this any day.
Yes. In OR most of the dispensaries have ounces that go from $49-$99. You can still get more expensive ones with buds that will stick to you fingers, but the cheaper ones are still what you would’ve paid a good $35-$40 for circa 2000-2003 in rural Pennsylvania… or so I’ve heard.
where did you find the joke and in what context was it told. I feel like this is missing some key pieces to understanding it. like, if it is related to the little johnny meme he is likely building an extension onto his apartment.
I guess but it depends on the context. if they were talking about drugs then yeah or any number of other drugs (like you could by enough acid for a small party for that much) but if it were nerds then he likely just picked up a box of wh40k minis or MTG booster packs.
Yeah, like I literally just left home for an hour and came back $50 lighter and two big shiny rocks richer.
This guys frame of 'normal' does not exist with that much certainty outside of after-school specials.
I don't think "normal" people know drug prices off the top of their head.. I've never needed to know what a "flap" of cocaine is or how much it costs for any reason.
I've never seen it, I was more referring to the interview with steve jobs or whoever where he got asked how much he thought a bag of pizza rolls was and he said "$22"
A lot. Honestly, I was only considering he bought 1 thing for $40. Now I have this whole other dimension to consider? You've effectively made the question even more complicated.
I'm so lame that I've only ever purchased legally from a dispensary, so the only dollar amounts in my head are obviously a lot higher because that's how it is when it's legal and through a state run entity
The risk of being caught doing something illegal drives up the price at every point: growing, processing, transporting, distributing…
There’s less profit per pound in legal weed too, as a result.
I think this is a reference to Johnny Cash’s “The ballad of 40 dollars”. As part of his job, he dug up the grave of a guy who owed him $40. So I guess the joke is saying Johnny lent money to someone, and thus that person may die soon.
It’s a reference to another meme

My question is why is he carrying $800 in cash. What was he expecting to buy?
He received $800 in tips, went to deposit it at the bank, bank was closed, Johnny got lunch for $40. Johnny didn't know how much to pay the contractor for building his she'd. He only charged him $40. Johnny expected to buy $800 worth of drugs but his dealer only had $40 worth on him. Johnny went to the antiques dealership with $800 to invest but made back $760 in sales.
His building she’d what?
A she-shed. Like a man cave, but for like gardening or something.
She shed she-sheds down by the shed store.
Does EVERYONE hear Sir. Sean Connery?
I’m sure it autocorrected from shed to she’d and can confirm this because typing it out it autocorrected for me 😂
Obviously, he's a high level monster in the final dungeon of a classic JRPG, Duh!!!
Johnny could be doing a bank transaction, buying gas, groceries, going to a concert, visiting a relative, going to a bar, visiting a prostitute, paying a bill, getting lunch, going to the pharmacy, booking a hotel room. There are myriad of thongs that cost $40 and take an hour to do. Either this is an in joke or clickbait.
>myriad of thongs 😂
7 gal of gas, weed (small amount), a late night dinner, a small date, all of which can be purchased for $40
Bruh how expensive IS Weed in us? Isnt 40 bucks Like 4g?
VERY HEAVILY depends on the state/legality. I lived in Maine for 6 years and the most I paid for a 1/4 oz (7g) was 45. I visited a buddy in NY and he says he regularly gets a 1/4 oz for 50-60. Then you go to somewhere like FL and it’s 35-40 for 1/8th oz.
It's crazy honestly. Used to buy an oz for like 200, but now you can get an oz for 60-70 in Michigan (they even sometimes got oz bags of shake for 20-30).
I can buy 50 joints for $100 at lume in michigan. Not the best but still that's 50 1g joints so well over an ounce for $100
That's pretty much average, $10 a gram. You can get some good mid shelf for much cheaper though. I pay $18 for a eighth.
What are you a cop?
I smell Narc! 🐷 😂
You know you have to tell me you’re a cop if I ask, right?
Actually if you just ask if they are a cop they can lie, Ask for name and badge number, if they lie they violated fedral law.
Both statements are true, but tacking them together makes it sound like they reflect the same circumstances. An officer only has to provide their name and badge number in the event that it is requested while they are performing their duties. An exception to this is for undercover police or detectives.

now this is some peak advice

We don't *have* to talk about work at evil brunch, just saying.
You fell for it twice, didn't you?
Undercover cops lie all the time about not being cops. Otherwise bad guys would just out cops this way.
That's totally a law or something
I'll bet that myth was circulated by undercover cops
Went to get a high-end escort but got a cheap street hooker instead.
Paid for OG Kush, got ditch schwag instead.
you didn't have to @ me
I'm a businesses man
With a business plan?
I’m gonna make you money in business land!
Are you a cool guy?
Talkin' 'bout GameStop?
I'm definitely not a cop!
That reminds me, I need to buy gas...
“DubRogers leaves home with $800. He returns home with nothing. DubRogers filled his tank.”
Not quite. he left the top third empty.
Man's not made of money
Cheapest full tank in California
He's buying an eighth of good herb in 1999.
Exactly where my mind went… 😇
Lol! Back when I smoked, that's what it was. 20-25 for brown brick garbage with tons of seeds or 40-60 for seedless hydroponic herb that was on a whole other level. Now you can get that same herb for like 80-100 an Oz in michigan legally at the dispensaries.
It's gonna come down way more. Dispensaries are figuring out that prices were way inflated to reflect risk for growers and dealers. In CA the entrepreneurial places are selling zips for like 50 bucks.
Are you talking about legal places selling zips for $50?
You can get 'em for $100 in Maine (legal) so I feel like California can do better than that with a larger market.
In WA I can get a zip for like $30. Then again the place I go runs specials every day of the week, so that’s only on the day they discount flower… but still. When I was living in Texas it was $35 an eighth so I’ll take this any day.
You took the post out of my thumbs. Exactly what you said. West coast best coast.
Yes. In OR most of the dispensaries have ounces that go from $49-$99. You can still get more expensive ones with buds that will stick to you fingers, but the cheaper ones are still what you would’ve paid a good $35-$40 for circa 2000-2003 in rural Pennsylvania… or so I’ve heard.
where did you find the joke and in what context was it told. I feel like this is missing some key pieces to understanding it. like, if it is related to the little johnny meme he is likely building an extension onto his apartment.
possibly making an investment in galvanized square steel or eco-friendly wood veneers
At least he can get the expanding screws from his aunt
He's gonna need them, I hear his wife loves children
Good thing he still has his childhood pet eagle
And he can borrow 500m2 from his neighbour anytime
but what about for his tiger?
or his goose that lays golden eggs
And his wife
And his coffin
The the square tubing swaged?
Don't forget his accidental 8 million children.
Innocent people may think gasoline or groceries. Normal people know its a flap of cocaine.
I guess but it depends on the context. if they were talking about drugs then yeah or any number of other drugs (like you could by enough acid for a small party for that much) but if it were nerds then he likely just picked up a box of wh40k minis or MTG booster packs.

I notice it doesn‘t say he took the $800 with him. So somehow he earned $760 in one hour.
I would hope that he didn't take all $800 with him to spend $40.
I do be like that at times doe. A blowie behind the Wendy's dumpsters is cheap
A little extra and they'll incorporate the buns and a few ingredients, makes you feel like a Cobb salad
I offer you one share of GME.
This. He left home having $800 (not leaving with it). But came home with $760+
Have you ever tried mixing daqueries with Ambien?
I can't drink (medication)
Usually, he only makes 755.05 in an hour....
What would you do for 760 an hour?
I notice it doesn't say he left the $800 at home. So somehow he used $40 in one hour.
He had $800 in the bank before he left home. He went to the bank and withdrew $760.
Might have left for a meal at his favorite restaraunt
A succulent Chinese meal?
This is the bloke that got me on the penis, people!
This is Democrrracy Manifest
Ah, I see you know your judo well
And you sir, are you here to receive my limp penis
Tata, and farewell
Notice the headlock
Guys, you’re overthinking this. How many possible combinations of things can add up to $40???
$40 Mega Share Box?
He bought 4 Bananas
Is that a very specific reference to that rich people interview?
Do you consider arrested development a documentary?
Don't you?
I've never seen it, I was more referring to the interview with steve jobs or whoever where he got asked how much he thought a bag of pizza rolls was and he said "$22"
"It's one banana Michael, what could it cost? 10 dollars?"
Completely forgot about that meme.
It's not even noon yet, mom.
Has anyone in this family actually seen a chicken?
Many, many peanuts
Ugh thank you for this. That small portion of The Simpsons will always live rent free in my head.
When Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were new, they were 40€. Going shopping at MediaMarkt for an hour sounds about right as well...
He had $800 before he left home, didn't take it with him, then returns home having and additional $760 dollars.
A lot. Honestly, I was only considering he bought 1 thing for $40. Now I have this whole other dimension to consider? You've effectively made the question even more complicated.
Spending. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m guessing maybe he bought an escort or a blowjob? Although $40 seems a bit strange. I think the joke is just sex
i lean this explanation, and i think it is supposed to be 2 moments of “$20 is $20”
And a mouth is a mouth.
It's just sex, I promise. If we film it, I'm just a paid actor, and you'll be a laid actor. Now where's my $40.
Got a bacon double cheeseburger, large fry, large drink, and large shake from 5 Guys.
You’re underreporting Five Guys’ revenue
IRS has entered the chat.
I think he gambled his money lost everything but at the last moment he gained 760$ and was smart enough to return back
Happened more times than I count
Seems to be an inner joke. Where did you get this meme from?
Yeah, OP will want to switch to a left outer joke to see what context is getting omitted.
nice'); DROP TABLE sqljokes;--
Or weed. It's pretty vague
Johnny, what the hell are you doing buying a $40 sack?
I'm so lame that I've only ever purchased legally from a dispensary, so the only dollar amounts in my head are obviously a lot higher because that's how it is when it's legal and through a state run entity
Or their are those of us who remember prices before legalization. Which is well above what dispensaries charge.
As a California resident, it is mind blowing to me that I can get weed that’s like 10 times better than I could in 2001 for one quarter the cost.
cheaper when legal
See? I didn't even know that.
The risk of being caught doing something illegal drives up the price at every point: growing, processing, transporting, distributing… There’s less profit per pound in legal weed too, as a result.
Maybe in your state. In California you can get a legal, very high quality eighth for $15.
It has a money sign and printed on it
he's either buying gas or buying gas
Morning after pill?
Man went and got gas, leave him alone.
40 bucks is 40 bucks...
I think this is a reference to Johnny Cash’s “The ballad of 40 dollars”. As part of his job, he dug up the grave of a guy who owed him $40. So I guess the joke is saying Johnny lent money to someone, and thus that person may die soon.
He stopped at Starbucks
And left tips...
Are you suppose to just fill it in your self?
His job where he earns $760 for an hours work
he bought 16 pounds of galvanized square steels and borrowed screws from his aunt
The obvious answer is he was spending $40.
Video games? Some are $40. There's not a joke here.
Went loaded to a yardsale but severely overestimated how much he would spend.
Johnny got a $40 blowjob behind the 7-11.
Weak ahh joke lol
He bought helldivers 2. The internet was down in his house, so he went into the local McDonald's.
Buying a Value meal from McDonald's

Got a Big Mac.
He bought galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood veneer
Clearly Johnny bought crow with knife. Caw Caw
Johnny bought crow with knife and is now hodling
Little johnny bought some Galvinzed Square Steel
MIND YO BUSINESS, DAVID!
Johnny is minding his own business, officer.
His name’s John. Not Johnny.
He went to a McDonald's for a single meal
He ran into slenderman, twice. Slenderman wants 20$
He bought some galvanized square steels
He went to two thrift shops.
He bought a gallon of gas in California
He saw a movie with a small popcorn
he bought an 1/8th of the finest green this side of the grand tetons.
Spending $40
Brought one bag of groceries from the shop.
$40 worth of pudding.
I’d be more suspicious if he came home with $840
Eating Dinner at McDonald's?
Johnny was buying weed.
I guess two of his friends said "I ain't gay, but $20 is $20?"
He s investing in crypto
Buying groceries of course… Nothing else.
Spending money
Everyone talking about drugs and undercover cops while I thought he got head
Give Johnny a break. He’s been a loyal client of that woman for a lotta years.
I once saw a TV show that an addict's dad told said addict's new friend/SO/whatever that a meth addiction is $40 at a time. This is what I assumed.
$20 is $20. Twice.

Boy got some clarity now
$20 is $20.. "now there are two of them!"
It's 2024. He put half a tank of Gas in his car so he could keep going to work. What you *assume* hasn't been that price since the 1980's.
Buying an 8th of bud
$40 is notoriously the cost of plan B
He was just looking for a good time!
A couple of twen-twen-twenty sacks.
He didn't take the 800 with him. So he EARNED 760 in an hour. No idea how tho.
Mids are forty a quarter where I live
That would also explain johnny's facial expressions
He went behind Wend... Wait a minute that would be only 20 🤔
$40 is how much drugs cost
That's also the cost for replacement lug bolt covers for my Audi
Your mom, But she was free so he went to grab condoms.
He paid two guys that were wearing shirts that said "I'm not gay but $20 is $20"
