It's incorrect anyway. The rule about always saying "person and I" instead of "me and person" is, like i-before-e, an oversimplification and far from universal.

To figure out which one to use, take the other person out of the sentence and see whether it still works.

"Me and my friend went to the store" -> "me went to the store?" No, that's wrong. You'd say "I went to the store," so it is "my friend and I went to the store."

"He took my brother and I for a ride in his Corvette" -> "He took I for a ride?" No. It's "he took me." You'd say "he took me and my brother for a ride in his Corvette."

The correct form of the sentence in the tweet, including the possessive, is "my and my wife's friend booked us a table." That's a bit awkward. Alternatives include:

"A friend booked a table for me and my wife..." (does not outright state that the person is friend to both of them, but it's implied)
"Our friend booked a table for us..." (it is not clearly stated who "us" is, but it doesn't really matter for the joke)
"A friend took me and my wife to dinner at..." (not accurate if the friend only made the booking and didn't come out to eat, but that would be really weird)
"My wife booked a table for us..." (technically a lie, but much cleaner, and frankly his friend making the booking is irrelevant)

I remember getting almost this exact lecture from my mom when I was like 8

She added the explanation that you always put the other person before "I" because you should never put yourself before other people, but thats just her trying to slip a moral lesson into a grammar one

What if you treat it as a noun phrase? While maybe not 'correct', it wouldn't be incorrect. For example:
"Sagebrush and CopperHound's posts are bad."
Instead of:
"Sagebrush's and CopperHound's posts are bad."

Then I can replace my own name with I:
"Sagebrush and I's posts are bad."


e: actually that might be bad example because the posts can belong to each of us individually instead of something we share.

Ah poo poo! Hope I'm not late with this mashup.

I cranked my hog today
To see if I still squart
I'm cranking on the hog
The only thing that's squart

The cranking tears a hog
The old familiar squart
Try to crank it all away
But I remember every squart

What have I besquart?
My crankest hog
Everyone squart I know cranks a hog
In the end

And you could crank it all
My empire of squart
I will crank you hog
I will make you squart

I crank this crown of hogs
Upon my liar's squart
Full of broken hogs
I cannot recrank

Beneath the stains of squart
The crankings disappear
You are someone hog
I am squart right here

What have I besquart?
My crankest hog
Everyone squart know cranks a hog
In the end

And you could crank it all
My empire of squart
I will crank you hog
I will make you squart

If I could crank again
A million hogs away
I would squart myself
I would crank a way
