You’ve probably seen [this photo](http://www.gno.org/~gdr/graphics/humour/notMyJob.gif) with the caption “Not My Job” before. Yesterday I was driving a local road with the center lines freshly repainted over not one but two different roadkills within half a mile of each other. (Didn’t get photos because, well, I was driving, and I don’t particularly need photos of dead flat animals.)

Ever spotted an internet meme in the wild like this?

No, but I make sure I look as good as possible when going to Wal Mart nowadays, for fear I end up a meme myself 🙂

A friend recognized her ex-boyfriend’s photo posted on a website mocking mullet hairstyles.
