Well, I guess in that case it makes sense. I'm sure I could learn to do it with a straight face eventually... though I'd worry about how my face would taste. There's something I'm not usually concerned with!
...But even if you were delicious, it still doesn't justify that kind of behavior. I wasn't raised that way!
I'm... I'm not exactly insulted, but I don't like what it's implying about me.
Well, right, but I don't do that! That, or... anything similar. Ever. And I sure as heck don't desire to do it, either! It's implying that I'm... well. Something I'm not. I... I don't like it.
...I can't speak for The Bard, but... well, he was in theatre.

Mind, these peoples' primary sense was taste.

Not that I think you do desire that but the meme seems to. Of course it also thinks Shakespeare fancies me.
((This. Is so strangely, hilariously adorable.))
