Question Jam Answer: Explanation

People are selfish. Mr. Question stops (jams) Mr. Answer on the road, a surprising thing will happen.

For example:
As you sit, someone steps on your leg,
You inquire- “why did you step on me, didn’t you see my leg?”
You expect an apology & sympathy

Instead, he responds, “Why did you put your leg in my way,
Didn’t you see me coming?
