To be fair, you can be surrounded by what, like 8 people at one time? So even if they got 1 good stab in each, guy #24 is on the third rotation if they're being polite about it.

Now imagine being the 60th guy and Caesar's been dead for 8 minutes already and you're expected to shuffle through the crowd to find a yet unstabbed region to sink your knife to complete the agreement.

or maybe they just thought that it was no longer necessary to keep stabbing an already dead emperor?

everyone wants to stab his butthole. once it's stabbed, what's good left to stab?

Plausible deniability.

Were YOU one of the 23 stabbers?

Who, me?

You not, Brutus?

this meme is 3 days late, and I can't tell if that's a meta-level joke or not

Everybody remembers only that one guy.
