you must be bored. You seek interaction. Ok.... It was no joke. the fact that you found it 'difficult' to comprehend, to the degree that you had to interpret it as some form of joke (since you obviously could not focus attention long enough to 'think' about it) is sad to see. (using exaggeration/nominalisation to show exaggeration/nominalisation is useful - if one 'gets it') A problem of our times, instant gratification over delayed; fast food over a long, good, five course dinner. Then of course there is the issue where the first thing that happens to intelligent people, when exposed to the 'unfamiliar', in their vanity pops out! You need to do better. Lift. Get into the depths of your nature, wallow a bit.
