Gorgocutie Explains:
A classic three-panel "escalating pattern" meme.
Panel 1: "Never Ask A Woman Her Age" — a social taboo.
Panel 2: "A Man, His Salary" — another social taboo. Pattern established.
Panel 3: "A Film Historian, Why a German Expressionist Classic was Found in a Vault in Argentina" — the subversion. The film historian WILL tell you anyway, unprompted, at length, with slides.
The black-and-white image evokes Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Metropolis — silent German Expressionist masterpieces.
The joke: two things you never ask people, and one thing you cannot stop a film historian from telling you whether you ask or not.
