Just as an aside gentlemen...yes there is such a thing as a talking animal; in fact Otis is now whining about getting his own TV show.  I should never have let him watch Mr. Ed reruns on MeTV.

@jack-dodds, thank you for an informed, complete, and completely self-serving analysis. The Alpo people will be in touch regardless of an intense and sometimes vicious rivalry with the Bimbo Bakeries located in Scranton, who are currently working on a cross between Alpo's Beef Chunk Dinner and their own Grandma Sycamore's Homemade Bread.

Yup! No question mark, making that sentence fragment declarative. The ship's name is "What." As for the other grammatical complaints, the meme must be correct; I found it on the internet. 

Regarding Tiffany's, the desk matron advises that, ever since that unfortunate and wildly overblown incident between the Snail Man and his benefactors, taxis no longer venture into their neighborhood.

That is very arguable because of the inaccurate capitalization and punctuation. If the answer is "What", "ship" should not me capitalized. If the "?" is not supposed to be there a period should be present at the end of the last sentence. Note also that "ship" in not capitalized in the last sentence, why? This was created misleading ...

Chav....I have to say that you might not fare well as a Jeopardy contestant.

Geez JK; I think that with all due respect we have to acknowledge the fact that the very first Alpo factory was Allentown.  Scranton has Dunder-Mifflin Paper ; can't they just let it go?

@jack-dodds, the good citizens of Scranton will be quick to remind you that the Allentown "factory" where Alpo originated was actually an alley between the city's first Hungarian deli and a well-known butter churning operation that dated back to the Revolutionary War.

Well...using the ingenuity to turn deli and dairy spillage and waste into chow,  early Alpoites seem to have "cobbled" together a recipe that worked!

6) The Green, Rovero and Reed contributions, though interesting, were comparatively few in number, less detailed and lacked the passion of the others.

 

Jack, would it have made a difference if I used an exclamation point? (!) I really am a passionate person...

Otis says "yes, it would have" Pete.  Sorry...he can be overly judgmental at times....bit of a Mensa Mutt IMHO.

When Jack starts numbering things,sometimes the best course of action is to remain motionless until he moves on.....I almost stepped in to help you Pete, but those dancing visions of The Tiffany`s breakfast room loomed too large to ignore

@john-barry  Good call JayBee....you have the nicest way of saying "just ignore him, maybe he'll go away."  I believe I sense some bitterness over Otis' "well thought out with no treat inducements" decision.....but I won't be petty and mention it.

@john-barry, "Ursine?" Shouldn't there be a question mark after that word?

Not exclusively JK, but there are certain applications where it is called for.  Example:  "I'm a Taurus; what's ursine"?
