I don't like this post! It's against the way I was reading the meme, which was that it wasn't serious. As far as entertainment goes, wrong anwers are just as good as right ones. (Although reading snacky's comment above, I appear to have been wrong about the non-seriousness of it.)
More importantly, you did ask -- and because you asked, people answered. Not necessarily because they thought the meme was valid, or were somehow more comfortable with the its assumptions than you were, or had thought at all about the question beforehand.
It's unfair to ask people to answer a meme if you're going to post about how uncomfortable it makes you afterward. It forces defensive answers from people who shouldn't have to defend themselves. I doubt there are many people on your flist, at least, who don't know the difference between the tale and the teller.
Ahhh, I feel better now. No offense intended, by the way.
