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?

Tax IS taxing
I don't get but am legally obliged to go along with self-assessment. Politeness doesn't even come into it.
Every year I have to phone the bloodyfucking Revenue sobbing: 'How can I owe you that? It's more than I earned' only to find once again I'd ticked some box that I didn't even know existed.
Oo it makes me gibber - every time we see the first episode of Black Books where Bernard tries to avoid doing his tax return Mrs Bacon points at me and cackles: 'That's you, that is.' God damn the tax man, say I. That's done it. Angry now. Need BEER.
