В интернете ходила шутка.
Политолога просят прокомментировать важное событие, а он отвечает:
«Извините, не могу сейчас, я на алгебре».
This appears to be an amazingly popular internet meme, but I don't quite "get" it. I expect it's as mindless as most of these memes, but could someone explain it to me, please?
