26. Foolish earthlings--too dumb to see that a threat is not possible in a hypothetical sitation!

Edited on Mon May-05-08 05:56 AM by Perry Logan

Now listen up, fellow logicians. A guy says "What would you do if I kissed your wife?" His friend replies, "Why, I'd punch you out!"

In this scenario, the second man did not "make a threat"--because the situation being discussed was completely hypothetical.

Hy-po-thet-i-cal.

So nobody threatened anybody, see?

WARNING: One more screw-up like this and we zap your planet.
