I just don't get itPoor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.
What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

I go to a lot of standup comedy.And occasionally there's a joke that the comedians say which has the audience in stiches, and me nervously laughing along even though I haven't the faintest idea. It usually seems like it's topics related to movies, because I don't like going to the cinema.
It makes it worse when somebody asks me to repeat it, or even worse explain it. I can't exactly say "I didn't understand it myself" when I was laughing away like the big fat liar I am :-D
Someone once made a joke about catching the train from platform 13 and a half (or something) and everyone else laughed whilst i stood there like a muppet wondering what was going on. I later found out it was a Harry Potter reference.
I'm a cultural leper :-)
