I went shopping at Winco last night. While I was picking out bread, I heard this exchange behind me.
Woman: Oh, how about bagels? Do you want bagels?
Man: What's bagels?
Woman: Have you ever tried bagels?
Man: No. What's that?
Someone once told me that when our brain forms a new synapse (connection) between two unexpected things, that's what makes us laugh. Moments like this make me think there must be some truth to that. Because someone not knowing what bagels are (or "is") had never occurred to me and I thought it was absolutely hilarious.
