My Very First Meme

The first time I was ever exposed to memes is a funny story. My friend came up to me and asked me if I spoke German. After i told him I took German in high school but very much doubt I'd be able to translate anything, he asked me to translate the picture above.

After several seconds of confusion, I understood. It made me bust up laughing, uncontrollably.

I am curious as to what others first stories or first memes were as well as wanted to share my story. Share your first exposure to memes below!
