What is Ridiculous?

The Ridiculometer measures quantity of "ridiculous-ness" but doesn't identify its' source. In the previous post, the man (whose name is Charlie) seems to be upset at the ridiculous nature of the computer tent. His girlfriend (Sue) is using it to shade the sun from her computer screen. We might ask: "Why would anyone be using a computer on such a lovely day...by a fantasic swimming pool...with an awesome diving board?"


The observant among us (such as Dr Ridiculous) will notice that Charlie is holding the carrying case for Sue's computer tent. If he thought that the tent WAS ridiculous...he probably would have thrown the case into the pool. When we zoom in...we find what set him off (and the ridiculometer if he had it with him) was not the tent or even the computer (as ridiculous as they BOTH seem).
