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?

Humpty and American FootballWhat I don't get is why people who clearly don't know the first thing about Anerican Football bang on and on and on about how it's a game played by big jessies who need to wear body armour etc.
1) Learn the rules. If you still don't like it, fair play to you.
2) When I used to play at an amateur level in the UK, we got the same remarks from the local amateur rugby players. So we invited them to give out game a try. Without fail, every one of them took the game up.
3) Reason they have many substitutions - each position is VERY specialised. (And not only that, but in rugby, you can only (legally) hit the bloke with the ball. In AmFoot, ebery player gets hit on every play. Very hard. At full tilt. Trust me on this.
That said, I don't deride people for not liking it. I just don't get people who dislike anything when they don't actually get it.
