A failure to communicate occurs when the lines-of-communication are so broken down that you might as well be attempting to convey information not by means of the spoken word, but rather by some obscure and arcane non-verbal dialect comprised solely of farts and tap dancing.
'The story . . . was entitled "The Dancing Fool." Like so many Kilgore Trout stories, it was about a tragic failure to communicate.
'Here was the plot: A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on Earth to explain how wars could be prevented and how cancer could be cured. He brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives conversed by means of farts and tap dancing.
'Zog landed at night in Connecticut. He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on fire. He rushed into the house, farting and tap dancing, warning the people about the terrible danger they were in. The head of the house brained Zog with a golfclub.'
-- From Kurt Vonnegut's 1973 novel "Breakfast of Champions" -- Chapter 5 (page 58).

in 1622 there was a young boy named Baltazar was raped by the 107 year old shaman of the town. Baltazar spent 2 yeas crying. all the towns folk got sick of hearing the child. after a strict town meeting, they decided to sacrifice all the animals they could find as a gift for the gods to despose of this child. Zeus heard took there sacrifices but did not do a thing about the child. The polish zues saw this act of crealty and made a vowe to become the god of rape. this was like killing two birds with one stone since the real zues was sueing the polish zues for stealing his name but thats political crap ment for another time. Anyways polsh zues changed his name to faltron and descended from the sky to mend baltazars shattered soul. but faltron was a hormone crazed god and wondered what it could feel like to cause this much pain to one child for his own pleasure. he raped baltazar with his god penis and stole his soul and thus became the all mighty ass ripping.
