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?

Smokes! I can't believe you used my suggested topic!Not only that, you misspelled my user name (don't ask what it means - you wouldn't get it (har har)) and made me look like a dense moron to the whole world! Points for B3ta! I've been trying that on my own for years, now it's a reality! Beautiful moments...
The Far Side I don't get is the one where a large woman is handing a 1st place trophy to a guy at a rhinoceros show, and the other contestants look mighty upset. Why? The rhino doesn't look like the judge, so that's not it. There seems to be a colar or something around the rhino's neck, so maybe it's really a cow in disguise? But Larson would have made that more obvious. The winning rhino has its tail swishing, and the others don't. Not a clue about that one. The winning rhino also has two horns to the other rhinos' one, so perhaps the winning rhino has "doubled the pleasure" of the judge? Not Larson's style, as twisted as he is. When the complete cartoons came out, I was hoping he'd explain it, but no such luck. Maybe it's just simply not funny.
20 years of chasing this, suppose I should just give it up and get on with my life?
