A boot. Sole at bottom right.
I saw the boot with the semi-detached 'waterproof' label but am unsure about the intended humor. Is the joke that a waterproof boot has ben washed up in a gutter? Not intending to beat this to death. I sometimes read comments on sites such as GoComics to help explain jokes and cultural references.

"Waterproof" boot has been rendered not waterproof - by the failure of the very thing that claims it is waterproof.

Like writing "non-flammable" on a wall - using Phosphorous sulfide.

Yes, that's why I posted this several posts prior to your posting it.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is having a contest to name eight new snowplows. Here are some of the entries:

Plow Bunyan
Snowbi Wan Kenobi
Mary Tyler More Snow
Edward Blizzardhands
Lake Snowbegone
Plowy McPlowFace

One rejected entry was "Abolish Ice". Too political.

Voting ends on Friday, Feb. 26.

Beware of Evel Knievel
For those who don't live in countries that use this sign, it really means "Motor vehicles prohibited"

A car with a red slash through it would make more sense and be more understandable

I wonder how those guys who drive the snowplows get to the snowplows nowadays.

If we're going to do VW ads (real or imagined), it's hard to beat:

If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today.

I once turned a normal diode into an LED by wiring it in the wrong way round so there was a short circuit through it.
