That Monty Python sketch where the Hungarian traveler has been given an English phrasebook that has wildly inappropriate translations of things a tourist might want to say. It gets him in terrible trouble and he’s finally dragged away by the authorities, protesting loudly: “My nipples explode with delight!” So I was thinking maybe he doesn’t know what he’s saying. Maybe what comes out of his mouth is not what he wants you to hear. Maybe, I thought, he’s not really a jerk, just misunderstood. But then I thought to myself, I’d probably be a jerk too if nobody liked me.
