I wrote a similar post over at TOS a long while back. I was fairly new to the site at the time, but boy did I get my behind handed to me. I was attacked from so many angles that it was obvious that the intended humor was completely lost to those at the site.
I hope her post isn't as poorly received as mine was.
Won't matter to her how it's received - she's hillfolk, and we care even less than Honey Badger!
She got one response along the lines of "I see what you're trying to do there", to which she responded "Good!"

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
