A priest was driving down the freeway with two penguins sitting in the back seat of his car. A police officer pulled the priest over for speeding & upon seeing the penguins said to the priest "what do you think you’re doing with those penguins, take them to the zoo right away." The officer then let the priest go with a warning. The next day the officer saw the priest drive by in his sedan with the penguins. The officer pulled the priest over & he saw that this time the penguins had sun glasses on. The Officer said to the priest "I told you yesterday to take those penguins to the zoo." The priest said "I took them to the zoo yesterday, today we’re going to the beach today."

Understanding what is being said can be difficult. Because what we understand to be said is filtered by us and our experiences and what we believe we know.
