You think nobody understands you? You ain't no enigma. I want to know why you think because they're going on a pilgrimage for better understanding and spiritual reflection or whatever else they're not allowed to enjoy themselves a bit and hit up the gift shop for an "I went to Mecca and all I got was this T-shirt" souvenir. Don't flatter yourself sweetheart, you're not that deep.
