If you're a fan of Kurt Vonnegut, he wrote a story many years ago
that
relates to this. In Vonnegut's own words:

"As for the story itself, it was entitled "The Dancing Fool." Like
so
many Trout stories, it was about a tragic failure to communicate.
Here
was the plot: A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on Earth to
explain how wars could be prevented and how cancer could be cured.
He
brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives
conversed by means of farts and tap dancing. Zog landed at night in
Connecticut. He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on
fire. He rushed into the house, farting and tap dancing, warning the
people about the terrible danger they were in. The head of the house
brained Zog with a golfclub."
