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?

Casualty TriageI went out in London with coleagues the other day, and I met the girlfriend of one. She was moaning about the NHS (considering that I have a lot of experience in this department, I knew she was talking b*****s). She said that she had to moan repeatedly to get her boyfriend treated in casualty ahead of a bunch of kids. I commented that perhaps the staff wanted to teeat the kids before her bloke was because, well, they were kids, as opposed to 40-year-olds.
She didn't understand that this was a good thing. She really didn't get it at all.
Now, I just don't get how someone cannot understand that children should be treated first, all other things being equal, in a hospital.
Thankfully, this couple doesn't have any kids. Therefore their evil (damn, sounding like Dubya) genes will not go on to the next generation.
They are also tories, I might add.
Rant over.
