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?

Modern artSorry, I can not see any merit in something which looks like a small child could have painted.
There's a comtemporary arts centre opened near here a couple of years back, and my mate and I were walking by it one day just after it opened and decided to go in to have a look.
On the walls were these large glass panels, about maybe 8 feet square, and on each was a U shape painted in a couple of different colours. It looked like the painting had been done by banging a nail through the bottom of the paint tin and letting it dribble out. Anyway, I thought that seeing as the centre had just opened, these were placeholders put up until the proper art was commissioned.
Then I saw little cards on each one, saying who the artist was, and what sort of paint it was, or some crap like that. These glass thingies were actually meant to be the exhibit!
OK, I'm a scientist, but even I can appreciate a decent painting that looks something like what it's supposed to represent. This was just bloody nonsense.
WTF?
Apologies for dimensional excess.
