...Some of those corrections are pretty solid BS.... (Example: pain, acceleration and temperature would all fall under the sense of "touch.")

Perhaps this is a sign of my advancing age, but I don't get this cartoon at all. I see nothing funny, witty, or even a hint of interesting observational humor in it. It is reminiscent of the Seinfeld episode in which the New Yorker editor finally had to admit that his cartoon lacked a joke.
Can you fill me in?
