Actually, after I sent my first allegedly-humorous response, I was 
thinking about how much we (meaning "We As A Society," not the 
royal "We") rely on cultural cues to communicate with one another.  If 
a person doesn't get the cues, the entire communication can go 
whizzing by his/her head -- like the jokes went by you, Ellen.

Anybody else remember the comedy bit -- I think it was on SNL, but 
then I think just about anything that was funny and American was on 
SNL (if it was funny and British, I think it was on Monty Python, but 
I digress) -- that featured the black IQ test?  The answer to the 
featured question was "Take the A train."  Of course, no white people 
were supposed to be able to answer that question.
