Short Answer (2-3 sentences Last night I was watching a live stream of a pre-Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. As you may know, the floats in these parades are quite unique & often represent humorous and/or satirical themes that are multilayered and context-specific. One of my favorite floats was in a parade with an entertainment theme and had the caption: ”TROUX DETECTIVE – Season Cautiously” and there was a depiction of a giant sack of flour in the front. I heard the local commentators try to explain, but clearly, not many of those responding in the chat got the various embedded jokes. I think I did. From your readings, what is one(1) concept that you think E.T.
