OK, geeks are resistant to neck ties. So here’s a tie with resistance printed right on it.
This creates a Kirkonian logic problem.
Must wear tie.
I hate ties.
I will show my resistance on the tie.
I now like tie a little and have less resistance to it.
To be truthful, i must now lessen listed resistance.
Showing less resistance isn’t as kewl.
Showing more resistance means i like it so it is a lie.
But showing less resistance means i no longer like it, so it is a lie.
Ahhhhh!
less is more
more is less
*kabloom*
Gee thanx guys, the neck tie used to be just a noose, now it’s a self-imploding detonator.
