Peter Griffin here to explain the joke. Einstein was a smart guy and people will typically post quotes of the smart things he has said. However, this meme is quoting Einstein saying "Hi" to someone, which is a very simple and routine thing people do. The reader believes they will read an enlightening Einstein quote only to have their expectations subverted when they instead read a routine human interaction. Hehehehehe
I appreciate this cause it def made it clearer, but the whole 'asked' is super confusing.
"Hi, Einstein..?"
"Hi"
Still doesnt make sense.
