Reminds me of a bad old biology joke: What does the "H" in Jesus H. Christ stand for?
"Haploid" (def: Having only one set of each chromosome pair)
As to the original question, the explanation that makes the most sense to me is:
A) The Trinity is a Divine Mystery, and isn't something that the human mind can understand. There are things that we simply can't conceptualize properly, like 12-dimensional space, or a singularity (though we can describe these things mathematically).
B) One way to describe the concept by way of analogy is the story of the elephant and the blind men - basically that 5 blind men walk up to an elephant, and describe it as 5 different ways - a snake for the trunk, like a tree for the legs, etc, etc.
