Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[tree]

Would it still be kosher if we do?

 

[Flinty]

How would I know that, having grown up in a town with no Jewish people?

 

[Son of the Sea]

You could have read about it?

 

[Flinty]

Where could I have gotten that information at the appropriate time and place?

 

[tree]

Did your area have a public library?

 

[Son of the Sea]

If I said I didn't know, would this be because the opposite of not telling the truth about what I know to be false shows that I'm definitely lying about the opposite of what I'm not saying?

 

[tree]

Wouldn't that just complicate matters?

 

[Son of the Sea]

Do you mean that my saying that if I said I didn't know, this would be because the opposite of not telling the truth about what I know to be false shows that I'm definitely lying about the opposite of what I'm not saying...you think this could be complicating matters?

 

[tree]

What do you think I meant?

 

[Son of the Sea]

Didn't you mean the exact oppisite of what I didn't say?

 

[tree]

You're having fun, aren't you?

 

[Son of the Sea]

Is it okay if I am?

 

[tree]

Why wouldn't it be OK?

 

[Flinty]

Is it at anyone's expense?

 

[Butterfly88]

Is anyone offended?

 

[Flinty]

How can we find out?

 

[tree]

How about a show of hands?

 

[Flinty]

What if people decide on a show of fingers instead?

 

[tree]

Suppose the rule is that a minimum of
two fingers be shown and they must
be on the same hand?

 

[Flinty]

Are you aware of the cultural sensitivities of two fingers being raised?
