What items would you bring if you were stranded on a desert island? I have no clue. People ask this question to gauge what others want to do in their final moments on earth if they are stranded and alone. I feel like giving a survivalist answer to this question is such a cop-out. If you were actually on a desert island, you would probably want a knife, a lighter, and a communication device, but those answers are boring. I want fantasy! I want to know what music you will listen to when you take your dying breath! 

Memes are perfect companions on a desert island. First of all, they’re easy to read. Anyone who says they want to bring Shakespeare’s complete works to a survival situation is a fool. Memes are a perfect distraction from the horrors of loneliness and deprivation! If you ever find yourself completely cut off from society, these memes might be of service to you.
