Listen here, Paintbal1. You are a human who clearly doesn't understand basic concepts. Did you know that 'the bomb' is a term for something great in America but in Afghanistan, it refers to an actual explosive? Crazy, I know! See, the joke is that the same phrase can mean totally different things depending on where you are. It plays on the dramatic irony between the two cultures.
