    There are only 4 continents:

    America (contiguous land mass)
    Eurasia (contiguous land mass)
    Africa
    Antarctica

    Australia is probably an island, and in the spirit of our commander in Chief, I'm just going to declare it one.

    Three of the four continents, along with the world's biggest island, start and end with the same letter.

    Theoretically, they are separate tectonic plates, which I think (emphasis on "I think") why they are considered separate continents.

    Yeah, no matter what new terminology the new professors are pushing it would be geographically and linguistically necessary to differentiate if some European traveler in either N or S America called their friend back home and said “guess what continent I’m on?”

    Based on all the conversation generated by this one, on the vHerf and in the forum, I'd say that the brain really sabotaged her sleep with this one. I'd say it stands as-is.

    I'm bringing in this one just to admire it. The joke (in my opinion) is an identical twin to the truth. The name is hilarious and almost necessary, but If anybody wanted a Sunday side hustle and was willing to set up a food truck or a booth it could work. The goal would be to remain clear of copywrite or trademark infringements while still dropping hard hints in signage that your business is in the business of providing satisfaction when you-know-who won't.

    This one was mine and I didn't catch any problems until I had posted it.
    First and worst thing is the meme starts the old proverb wrong.
    It should not have been teaching a man to fish.
    It needs to be, "give a man a fish, you feed him for a day"
    Next, I broke the "most interesting man" rule.
    If you use that guys image the meme must be phrased as follows:
    I don't always insert premise here
    But when I do, I always insert punchline here.
    I'll try not to do that again.
    I tried to re-word the joke using the "most interesting man" template and get the proverb right, but I was not satisfied with any results of that effort.
    I think I'll try another image.

    At least you had a man in the meme the first time around. Better have another go at it.
