A meme using characters from SpongeBob. Man Ray holds a card labeled “My Computer” and says, “I’m an admin, right?” Patrick replies, “Yup.” Man Ray continues, “And this file is admin locked.” Patrick says, “Yup.” Man Ray says, “I have admin access. And if that’s the case, I can access this file.” Patrick replies, “That makes sense to me.” Man Ray says, “So let me access it.” Patrick responds, “You need admin access.”
