Can someone explain the joke? I know what stacks are but I don’t get it…

He looks like he's guarding something? A sentinel value in an array-based stack implementation in C or something? I don't know, I'm a bit confused too.

Maybe it's something about not knowing if the last element is the top of the stack or the bottom of the stack?

Split the difference, it is the only element in a deque.

The last element in a queue: :D
