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?

'Paper Shop'A couple of weeks ago I was waiting for a bus when two young scally lads came riding along on a trial bike (like they do). They stopped and looked at me, waiting for me to glance at them so they could take the piss. When I looked at them, one of the little bastards, loooking at my battered converse trainers, piped up, 'where'd ya get yer shoes from, a paper shop? Eh? Did ya get em from a fucking paper shop?' I just don't understand what this means. I've actually heard it a few times, and never understood it. I guess it could mean either 1) that they are saying i bought my trainers from a newsagent or corner shop, in which case suggesting they are cheap and shitty, or 2) that i bought them from a shop made out of paper, but why would a shop be made out of paper? I just don't get it!
