    Ohh! Wait, you’ve never seen the Ea-Nasir memes before?

    Okay, there was this really shitty copper merchant back in ancient Sumeria. Sold low-grade copper as higher quality, was rude to messengers who had traveled for ridiculously long distances, refused to give refunds, all that. At least one coppersmith sent him several very long and sternly-worded complaints.

    When the city was dug up later, archeologists found that that this asshole had literally framed these complaints in his house, like a badge of honor. He had taken his 1-star reviews and framed them in his kitchen.

    Tumblr found this and decided to immortalize this asshole in memes.

      Had to fix a bit of this:

But the most important thing everyone needs to consider though, is how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
