when i was younger, my aunts had this thing, wherein if one of us cousins didn't immediately get a joke, they would cry "lift your feet! baka matapakan yung IQ!" (lift your feet! you might step on (name of child)'s IQ!)
earlier, during lunch at our building's food court, my officemates and i were eating, when a gust of white smoke came from our local sizzling place. taking my cue from Vic, I joked, "we have a new pope!"
i was met with some of the most vacant stares I've ever had to endure. I wanted to explain, but I figured, come on. We just got a new pope, what, two weeks ago? Less? And with the amount of coverage it got, if they didn't get the joke, they may never will.
sigh.
he who laughs last thinks slowest
quick edit: i got a shout box! for no reason other than my own enjoyment. cheers.
