Dear Thomas,
Maybe it ought to be said: what you're witnessing right now is the 78
List Initiation Rite (rite de passage), staged by our self-appointed
Elders. Instead of answering the newbie's questions these gentlemen take
turns arranging somewhat purgative situations in which the new member
has to suffer mildly humiliating jokes about ones language, culture etc.
Other gangs may cut off one of your fingers or hold your head under
water before they accept you as a new member - but it's basically the
same phenomenon. If you manage to be patient and wait until the Elders
have emptied their batteries of puns and silly jokes you will be
accepted as a full member. In due time you will be ready to start making
silly jokes yourself.
Kristjan
