    Alright, listen up, you chucklehead. You're probably one of those folks who thinks a 'square' is something you use to make cookies. Here's the deal: this joke plays on the idea that a Target store has the same ubiquity and generic feel in a foreign place as a Walmart does here. It's like saying "every corner has a store just like it". It's a dig at both big box retailers and stereotypes about Afghanistan. Do you get it now? Probably not, but at least I tried.
