This is a completely commonplace joke in English:

Note that each time you make the joke, you do it with something different.

It sounds funny with any cheap item you can think of.

  • "With what you've got and one dollar you buy a whole donut."

  • "What you've got and 10 cents is worth one whole toothpick."

  • "What you've got and two bucks you can buy a black coffee."

  • "What you've got plus a dollar-fifty will get you a candy bar if you're lucky."

  • "Take the value of your talents, and another 30 cents, and you can go buy an apple at the supermarket."

The point of the joke is .. "you have nothing."

You can instantly find references to this everywhere, eg
