ME: How would you like to bet me $5 that you're not here?
HIM: You want to bet me $5 that I'm not here?
ME: That's right.
HIM: That's the easiest $5 I'll ever make. You're on.
ME: OK. Now, when we prove something we have to use logic, so I'm going to prove you're not here by logic, OK?
HIM: OK.
ME: OK, now you're not in Juneau, Alaska, right?
HIM: No. I'm not in Juneau, Alaska. I'm right here.
ME: Bear with me on this. And you're not in Lincoln, Nebraska, right?
HIM: No, I'm not in Lincoln, Nebraska.
ME: And you're not in Tokyo, Japan, right?
HIM: Right!
ME: So, if you're not in Juneau, Alaska, Lincoln, Nebraska, or Tokyo, Japan, you must be somewhere else, right?
HIM: Right.
ME: And if you're somewhere else, you're not here.
Moral, English is not logical.
Nice. I use to tell my kids I had 11 fingers. They would say “no you don’t.”. So I would bet them if I did they would have to eat their greens. So let the games begin...
I hold up both hands and say “ how many fingers do I have?” both would scream 10!
So I held them up again...
10, 9, 8, 7, 6 + 5 = 11
