Meme #1 bottom got me to recall my now deceased Dad laughing his head off at a Road Runner cartoon when he used to take little dino to see such movies as Ben Hur and Bridge Over River Kwai.
As for the hungry praying mantis, I escaped lifelong misery by looking up a divorce lawyer.
Also more recently recall seeing three little grandkids (two boys and a girl) lined up on a couch each ignoring each other while peering into each one's cell phone as if all were mesmerized.
It gets creepy when that's your own flesh and blood.

Nicely done in the truth department, OUC! I especially liked the Road Runner and Socialism/Capitalism memes, but all are winners! Thank you!

Side note: In 1968 there was a sign in a hospital near where I grew up that said, "Smokers we'll see you soon. Menthol smokers we'll see you sooner." Recently I saw a sign that said, "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it hundreds of times. - Mark Twain". I'm an ex smoker from a long time ago. Quitting is one of the best things I ever did. Starting at 16 was one of the worst.
