I don't get it.

(in French class, talking about a text we read)

Dr. Steegar: Vrai ou faux: il faut beaucoup d'argent pour réussir un menu. (A lot of  money is necessary to succeed at putting together a menu (basically).)

Ryann: Faux, parce que le papier n'est pas cher. (False, because paper isn't expensive.)

*the class laughs*

Ryann:  What?...No seriously,  I don't get it.

Me:  Un menu is like..the food you eat, not the piece of paper.

Dr. Steegar: La carte is an actual piece-of-paper menu.

Ryann:  Oh...OH! Okay. Never mind.
