Who's the Boss?

Or: "Oh We Will Have Such Fun."

"When I Am No Longer Your Boss." Pen on ruled paper

One of my readers said that he didn't "get" the "comic" above.  That's because there's nothing to "get." It's just a weird drawing with a  non-sequitur caption. 

However, considering the improbable positioning of the street lights together with the caption might lead one to mildly amusing thoughts.    For example, if one light is addressing the other, which one is "speaking?"  

I've asked  some people, and they are divided.  Some think that the one on the right is the boss, because it's "looking" over the other one's shoulder, "observing" its work. Others say the one on the left is the boss, because it's "leading" the way.

Either scenario is absurd, because the lights are bolted to the ground.  How would one "boss" the other, and how would they "have fun" once their business relationship was dissolved?  Would they flash on and off?

If there truly are an infinite number of universes, then this is just one possible scene from one of the placidly bizarre ones.
