Communication breakdown

She's thinks he thinks this but he actually thinks this. He says this but he really means this. They all think this but they didn't say it out loud. It's communication breakdown.

It's the plot behind almost every sitcom. It's a funny thing, getting tied up in knots too complex to undo.

Human communication is rich. From words to gestures... from smells to textures, the message can be simple but it's the mode of delivery that introduces the signal noise.

Couple that with a thousand different emotions and you get a gooey lump of issues trying so desperately to digest the other lump. Life's so absurd. It's like an obstacle course without the trophy in the end.

We do our best to get the Chinese whispers right only to piss each other off.
