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?

People who are certain that they're rightWhy, oh why, do people, when confronted by something that they don't understand, insist that this thing is plainly wrong and that their uninformed opinion is right.
I do not understand Aussie Rules football, or people wanting to be Klingons, but I'd really love to learn about them. Perhaps if I experienced these things I might understand? Perhaps if I had a mullet haircut I would see that it makes sense, serious at the front and party at the back? If people feel the need to be supported by having faith in a supreme being, well why not?
Perhaps one day I'll understand the fear that these people must feel when confronted by something different?
Then again, fuck it, it's 9am, surely time for a beer?
