Does this qualify as a meme? I'm never quite sure.

(2,120 posts)...what this is supposed to mean. Bad grammar and two double negatives make it hard to turn into a meme. Nice photo though, maybe that could be the basis of a meme.

(33,379 posts)I heard a slight variation of this when I was a kid. Freedom Riders stopped at my mother's tiny little restaurant (max capacity 20 persons) and the (only) waitress asked, "What if there's trouble?" Mom just grabbed a menu and a "guest check" and said, "If they don't start any, there won't be none."
Fairly certain she heard it somewhere before, so look back before the '60s to find its origin.
Double negatives mean the opposite
Start something, do something
I love the meme

Translation:
If you don't want trouble, don't start it.

(70,150 posts)my fucking motto.
people who know me either love me or hate me.
mostly the divide breaks down this way-
if i fought w you, you love me.
if i fought against you, you hate me.
my favorite people, tho, are the ones i fought against, who have no hard feelings, and who now know that if the day comes, i will be right there w them fighting their fights just as hard as my own.

(70,150 posts)i was about 10 when my oldest sister got married.
she had a small reception at our house. among the food was a couple of gallon jars of olives, something i had never seen before.
wasnt into the black ones at the time, but green olives? a gallon of them? omg i pigged out.
kept sneaking into the kitchen and putting olives on all my fingers then eating them.
the next day my skin had a distinct green hue.
ya gonna have to dig deep, methinks.
