Coffee Causes Extremely Urgent Morning Bathroom Trips
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 3-panel relatable humor meme. The first panel shows a man in a red t-shirt sitting on a large military artillery cannon, holding a shell labeled 'Coffee'. The second panel shows the same man (labeled 'Me') aiming the cannon at a man standing alone on the opposite shore of a small lake, who is labeled 'My bathroom every morning'. The third panel depicts the cannon firing, with motion blur and a fireball showing the shell is launched directly at the target. The joke uses absurd exaggeration to illustrate the common experience of drinking coffee first thing in the morning leading to an immediate, powerful urge to use the bathroom.
