The Trojans were divided - should they set fire to the statue or should they honour and worship it? Some wise old men realised there was something not quite right and advised setting fire to it. Others warned that if they did so the gods would be angry as the horse is dedicated to Athena, the great goddess of wisdom, and they did not wish to feel her wrath. So yes, definitely always beware Greeks bearing gifts. I have walked the excavated ancient walls and streets that were Troy and even climbed up inside the replica wooden horse.
@ Rosemary -- What an exciting trip that would be! The closest I've come to the Trojan Horse is a rather chunky statue of it in a local Turkish restaurant, LOL.
Great lolz! Loved the pizza delivery, the cat, Pandora's labyrinth. 'I came as quickly as I could after I did some other stuff.' Always found Odysseus annoying on that score. Lol.
@ This N That -- When a trans person switches from one sex to the other, they adopt a new given name to match the current, correct sex to which they've transitioned. Their "deadname" is whatever their name was for their original, incorrect sex and of course no one should call them that anymore. So in this meme, Troy became Helen or (to stretch a point) "Helen of Troy."

The pizza and the cat ones were my top picks. That's good stuff. Happy Tuesday!
Love the Cat

That last one!!!!
I know about Beware Greeks bearing gifts. My brother-in-law is Greek. I've gotten some doosie of gifts.
And as above...you can imagine the only trojan I got close too.
What’s with all the references to towns in Upstate New York?
LMAOOOO
Oh the one with the kitty? Priceless.
And I cackled out loud with the 'What's and odyssey?' one.
XOXO
Why they didn't use a cat, very good! Funny they never scanned the horse before they let it in..
What's an Odyssey? I love that! And so many others.
The pizza one was funny!
The pizza delivery guy is hilarious! Lol.

The pizza move is brilliant.
This was altogether hilarious, Deb.
Have a great day and week.
If God took a rib from Adam and made woman, then she was a transgender clone. Deal with THAT conservatives.
@ Mike -- Good point!
🇬🇷 They defeated Troy but didn't watch out for the Romans or Ottomans
Trojan horse stories are made into a fun series of memes
Lots of lol’s
Thanks for the giggles I promise if I ever am able to give you a gift it will be totally safe
😉
AHAHAHAHA! All good ones and not one condom joke in the lot...
I think my favourite is the very first one.
On a side note, I love Greek mythology and the Trojan war.
Thanks for all of the goodies, Debra. I think the cat one was my favorite.
This week has wonderful comments. Woman from man's rib is a transgender clone--deal with that, conservatives!
I am barbarian. And so i think the Greek jokes are best of all.
@Tundra...nope, but you know me, I went there!!!!
Be the name Troy or Helen, she'll always have Paris.
@ Kirk -- HAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU GENIUS, YOU!
I like the Pizza guy.
Funny! I've actually visited the City. They have a huge wooden horse as the centrepiece.
HAHAHA! These are a hoot. I'd open the door for pizza!
Hahah got a good chuckle from those!!
I am surprised nobody commented "we could make a giant badger".
The cat one was perfect
Deb, these are hilarious. Even funnier, I read the title and saw Beware Of Geeks Bearing Gifts, so imagine my quandary while reading the memes. :)
Matt's trolling game is on point! :D
