I just used that picture to great effect. Check out this conversation I had on the IM at work:
Her: hey do me a favor
Her: :-D
Her: If I give you my debit card will you go buy me a shake at chickfila
Her: lover?
Me: No
Her: hate you
Me: And well you should
Me: Alternatively
Me: Here is a picture of a hippopotamous with monkey poop on it's back.
Me: *posts pic*
Me: Enjoy
Her: leave me alone
Me: Don't worry That hippo is bringing you monkey poop instead of the shake
Her: You are not the same John I once knew
