Triptych of images from The Simpsons. Bart’s classmates say “say the line, Greg.” Bart despondently replies “I could smell the onions and the mustard.” Bart’s classmates rejoice. The meme refers to CBP agent Gregory Lairmore’s testimony in the misdemeanor trial of the man suspected of hitting him with a sandwich at point blank range.
