There are two men crawling through a desert dressed in warm winter attire and carrying snow skis. They've left their ski poles behind but continue crawling through the sand with their skis. One man looks towards the other and is talking.
It is unusual that anyone would be crawling through the desert in winter wear with snow skis.
Where did the men come from? What is the man saying to the other man?
This is why I hate cross-country skiing.

A play on the term "cross-country" --- in skiing terms, this refers to a particular type of skiing over long distance, flat areas. However, these skiiers are literally going "cross-country" as in, trying to ski across the country, including its deserts, which are not possible to ski in.
