Are you also confused by up and down?

Our summer staff is leaving soon, so this is likely to be the last story about them for the year (no promises though). For once, its a summer person who comes out of the conversation sounding like a normal sane person. The idiot is a familiar character here on the Death Stare - Zebra.

Said the Zebra, "Are you closing our shades?"

"No," said Fanta, "I'm opening them."

Zebra looked puzzled. "Oh, were they closed?"


WHY ELSE WOULD YOU OPEN THEM?! HOW CAN YOU OPEN A SHADE THAT ISN'T CLOSED?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ZEBRA?!
