Teaching what a ‘meme’ is to Old People
Hey, Morty, put down your checkerboard, unnecessarily clear your throat and get ready for some life-changing news that will affect all month of it. There’s something happening right now on the ‘interwebs', something very special. At this very moment there are hundreds of sweaty guys around the word trying to get you to find something partially funny for personal gratification! It’s called a meme. No, Morty, we’re not trying to sell you anything. Please stop scooting away, you can’t carry your oxygen tank by yourself.
Do you remember anything funny that happened? Or anything at all? That funny moment is something that’s captured through a meme, that goes along with two lines of text. For example, remember that time Canada became a country? Make a meme out of it. I’ll even take you through those trudges you call steps from the start to finish. Now, Morty, don’t give me that face. You look like my wife’s aged leather handbag when you do that.

That’s google, Morty. Just let me do it.

Morty, did you just fart?

That definitely wasn’t a fart.
Trudge 5: Upload your picture to Imgur

Morty that doesn’t mean to literally hand around your computer.
You saved the thumbnail, didn’t you Morty?

Question:
Hey, do you want to impress those spinsters eying you from across the park? Then I’ve got just the thing!
Anecdote Lead:
A lot of old people these days are just out of sync with all the youngins’. They’re always on their Facebooks & MyPlace, right? But recently they’re on this new thing called ‘memes’ ….
Narrative Lead:
I took a stroll in the park at around 3pm on Sunday, right after church. The taste of the terrible little cracker they gave me lingered in my mouth. They seriously need a new recipe. Anyways, I was walking about when I noticed this old man sitting on a park bench. He was weird looking, equipping a eye-patch on his left eye & clothes directly out of a ‘Sanford & Son’ episode. I walked up to him and sat. He told me about his kids and how he feels out of sync.
