Last night...
... a girl at Salsa said that only 5% of the world "gets it", and I'm one of them. I totally agreed but still, 12 hours later, I still have no idea what she was talking about.

Freakin' minutes!!!! Daggnammit.
Ohhh, now that you've explained it like that...
Can I have a round of applause for Muffin the Cleareruperer of Confusion?
I don't think a round of applause is enough.
I think you should get a certificate or an award or trophy or something. Maybe a title, ie, Muffin Clearuppence. Sounds great, me thinks!!
maybe by not getting "it" you actually do get it. Like the Socratic tale, I can't remember exactly how it goes but there were two guys and Socrates put to them is it possible to know everything? One guy went off and thought for little bit and came back and said that he knew everything. The other guy travelled restlessly for ages and came back to Socrates and said he must be stupid because he doesn't know everything. And that's when Socrates decided that the latter guy was the smarter one.
So maybe you get it, and you're really smart?
I think it's fairly obvious that she wants to "get it" from you.
But I would say that.
PS I don't get it either but I've been told I do too. Yay! Best pinky swear buddies for life xoxoxo LOL PWNED!!!111 OMG etc
Now now young Muffin, as if I would be hanging it on you. Some of us are far too lovely to engage in such slanderous affairs.
Dearest Fluffy, thanks for the insertion of sexual conitations, I fully never even thought of that. Man I'm getting slow. I thought maybe she was just talking about a salsa dance step or something.
Cigs, thanks for the way intelligent comment leaving, you've totally dragged this blog up a level. Somehow, though, I don't think that you do actually have to know that you 'get it' before you can actually get it. Nasty catch 22 that.
P.S) Muffin, here's your mickey back.
P.P.S) What? What?!? "PWNED"?!? How much time do you spend on the computer? I only found out about that word on Friday night at a bowling alley when some dudes were asking me if I had "uber micro" when they found out I work in IT. Man, I've needed a lot of things explained to me lately...
P.P.P.S) Of course Cigs, by "don't" I mean "do".
I think she likes you.
Or she wants your babies.
And no I dont want Pet insurance.
Well there are two points she could be making:
1) "It" is life and how it works. Not many people actually "gets" how everything works. It's the ability to sort of step outside life and look in. I think she's wrong that you get it, since you obviously don't get it, otherwise this post wouldn't exist.
2) She's talking about a disease that 1 in 20 people get and you are showing symptoms.
