It's a rake though

Yeah, I think this was a poor attempt/forcing a joke.

I think they're trying to use the words rake and hoe as synonyms (which they are; they can both mean "promiscuous woman") but flubbed the execution.

I see the intent here, but I don't think the image macro works for that joke. I have tried to make it work a few different ways, but I'm not coming up with anything that works well.

Famously, there is a Jeopardy! answer/question that highlighted the synonym which should be easily searchable with "rake hoe jeopardy"

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I think the joke was still funny because I didn't look too closely at the picture and try to pick out problems with it.
