I just don't get it
Poor 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 think it's in the Daily mail
Which could be a post all of it's own, but that "I don't believe it" cartoon strip. GAAAARGH!
Granted, I haven't seen a funny (non-dilbert) cartoon strip in a newpaper in 24 years on this green earth, but this one? As far as I can tell, it's some kind of unholy spawn of Victor Meldrew of one-foot in the grave fame, crossed with Dennis the menace's dad. Right? But apart from the fact it's UTTERY appauling and bereft of even the tiniest seeds of humour, why can't they just call it "one foot in the grave" or something? If that's what it is (which is blatantly implied by it's catchphrase-robbing title) then either fucking fess up and pay the royalties, or just fuck off. And even better, have a word with david renwick and see if he can teach you the difference between mildly amusing pensioner jokes, and a few drawings where NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS.

Apologies for lack of appropriate capitalisation. I only did it to annoy.
