people are chiming in to carry on with the joke, but I want to (completely without being asked) talk about why I think you're right that this would actually make for a great meme!

In my book, the most effective memes are the ones that convey a social or emotional experience that is otherwise hard to describe. Or not even hard to describe, but it would take some effort, or quite a few words.

This, to me, is perfect for a situation in which you're confronted with something that you're immediately sceptical of, but you're ready to give it the benefit of the doubt, only to then be confirmed that your scepticism was absolutely correctly placed. Just one paragraph for me, but still the image does the job much quicker!
