I just wanted someone's help. I solved a cryptogram in a puzzle book, and usually they reveal quotes by famour people, a lot of time, they are "tongue in cheek". Anyway, this one makes no sense to me so I am not sure if I have it wrong or not. It is the following:

A martian walked by a piano store and said to the baby grand in the window, "stop laughing at me!"


Ok, does this make sense to anyone?

I must have nothing better to do.......

But how does the martian come into play, I don't get it?

piano keys = ivories = teeth
presumably the martian thought the piano keys looked like teeth?(so he thought the piano was smiling at him)
