Harry: "What does this song mean? For my whole life I don't know what this song means. I mean, 'Should old acquaintance be forgot'. Does that mean we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we happen to forget them we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot them?
Sally: "Well, maybe it just means that we should remember that we forgot them or something. Anyway, it's about old friends."
This certainly explains a lot, don't you think?
I gotta run, but I hope your New Year does indeed rock. More later.
