But when you got there, you found out that everyone was talking in a strange way. Say they were all clapping when they talked, or affecting an obscure accent, or hopping on one foot. Confused, you tucked yourself into a corner, nursed your drink, and watched the room. Or should you give up and leave? Just now I looked at Twitter, and I saw:. Something about toilet paper.
