Look at what was written that I responded to, and imagine you have not heard of the PARTICULAR, recent Newsom knee pad joke in any way, as I had not.
"Looks like Newsom should have brought those knee pads with him."
Not only was I *specifically* clear that I understand a "knee pad" reference generally, but you'll notice that the post I'm responding to doesn't make clear WHO is to be wearing the knee pads. It was therefore plausible that the implication was that Newsom might be wearing them, since I was unaware of the STORY or CONTEXT in the first place.
Do you follow now, buddy?
BTW, I'm around 60, thank you very much
