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?

Different wordsWhy do England and the USA have different words for things? Flashlight and torch, elevator and lift, truck and lorry, trunk and boot, hood and bonnet, etc.
and why do americans use things like 'english muffin' and 'french toast' and so forth, when the english know what a muffin is, and english muffins are crumpets, and french toast isn't from france?
and why do only foreigners refer to the united states as America? "America" is two fucking continents! Though, why are people from here Americans, and not United Statesinians or something?
