      I didn’t get it ether, but I found an explanation on Reddit from a couple years ago that makes sense.

      You’d usually see signs for cute lost puppies on telephone polls. This is a massive snake, hung up by a giant scary-looking burly man.

        You’re both right, plus some additional humor comes from the incongruity of the scary-looking burly man naming his huge snake “Ginger.”

        There’s another angle to this: how the woman in the foreground must feel seeing the sign, finding out that the snake is loose in her neighborhood (presumably she’s mowing her own lawn).
