“If we were sat on a bench together and someone came up and said ‘One of you two is an idiot’, I wouldn’t think they were talking about me because I don’t take offense easily”.
I’ve read it 10 times now, and I still don’t get it (I think?). Am I the idiot on the bench? Is the insult about me? Can someone explain it to me please?
It reads like a sentence that was translated from another language into English. It’s needlessly confusing, makes the reader feel dumb, but it’s not a good insult.

Yeah it’s a confusing way of calling someone an idiot.

I assume it’s to insult both of them with both thinking they just insulted the other.
