Don't make lemonade, take those lemons back! (Portal 2)

Post by Znex »

An older meme, but it still checks out.

:usa: English
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, take those lemons back! Make life take those lemons back! Get mad! I don't want these damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?

Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down - with the lemons!

Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.
