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?

Old peopleI work in retail, here's some examples
"That's £20 please madam" reply "I'm going home in a minute" ?!
"What size are you looking for?" reply "blue or brown"
"Check the amount and sign please" reply "I've just bought some liver for my tea"
"Do you need any help at all?" Reply "I'm 83 you know"
Am I missing the point??
and why do they insist on shopping between 12 noon and 2pm? Do they realise that ppl are on their lunch breaks? I get 1 hour, I do not want to spend 30 mins of it queuing behind old duffers who haven't grasped decimalisation, never mind chip and pin...have you noticed how they insist on shouting out their mumber as they punch it in???
I just don't GET them at all
