Rumor being passed around the next day after being highly distorted by being passed down person to person: "Did you hear she tried to eat her bowling shoes?
I can understand the guy’s confusion. I never noticed before that the humans in B.C. had invented shoes yet. At least I never seen any of them wearing shoes before.
Walking in in the middle of a conversation can be confusing.
My sister had come to visit us for several days. My wife and I and she were discussing plans for dinner: whether to eat out or to stay in.
We agreed to stay in, so she commented, “Oh good, then I can take my bra off.” just as my adult son walked through the front door. He did an immediate 180 and walked out.
When he came back in he commented, “I’ve got to stop walking into the middle of conversations.”
In another event, I was sitting next to a friend on a couch at a Christmas party. She commented about the heat I was radiating off my body. The music was rather loud, so we were talking loudly. She was envious that I could keep my wife warm under the covers at night, but what she said, just as the music abruptly stopped was, “You must be great in bed.”
I wanted to play a joke once so a friend and I were alone in a conference room and when I saw the door handle turning I turned to my friend and said “so then we buried him upside down by the road. Nobody will …” and then went silent and drank some coffee. The guy that came in never looked at me the same again.
Perhaps Lewis Black can shine a bit of light on this…..“Behind me, I heard a young woman of 25 say, “If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.” Now, I’m gonna repeat that, because it bears repeating. “If it weren’t for my horse…” as in, giddyup, giddyup, let’s go — “I wouldn’t have spent that year in college,” which is a degree-granting institution. Don’t think about that too long, or BLOOD will shoot out your NOSE!”
Simple explanation: Jane is talking about a physic dream she had. Everything will be clear once a 3rd woman appears, and shoes and bowling have been invented.
her and me or she and I, but never her and I or she and me. In this context, it should be she and I because the implied sentence is "She and I should have seen the look of confusion on her face.

I’m not sure I want to know what she is talking about.

If it wasn’t for that horse I never would have made it through college.

That’s the problem with only hearing part of the story.

It’s hard to imagine any context in which that would have made sense.

(1) — Who wears shoes in this strip? (2) — Who understands female conversations when two or more start talking to each other?

Would you say, “Her is confused”? Of course not. So don’t say “Her and I are confused”.

Just make sure to have your bowling shoes on when you eat it.

Apparently she was talking about the nachos she ordered at the snack bar that were served in a bowling shoe due to a shortage of paper bowls?

To the authors: “Her and me both”. They are either both subjects or objects, and it ain’t “She and I both”.
