Halloween is coming soon and witches are very popular these days so, here is an epic scene about witches!(I bet you all know it)

The question is: What makes you think she is a witch?

and here it comes, Monty Pythons’ law of Syllogism(which I think it isn’t very correct but it is fun and hilarious):

If p —> q and q —> r are true statements, then p —> r is a true statement.

Sir Bedevere:There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. Peasant 1 : Are there? Oh well, tell us. Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches? Peasant 1: Burn them. Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches? Peasant 1: More witches.

Peasant 2: Wood.

Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?

Peasant 3: …because they’re made of… wood?

Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?

Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.

Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?

Peasant 1: Oh yeah.

Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?

Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!… It floats! Throw her into the pond!

Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?

Peasant 1: Bread.

Peasant 2: Apples.

Peasant 3: Very small rocks.

Peasant 1: Cider.

Peasant 2: Gravy.

Peasant 3: Cherries.Peasant 1: Mud.

Peasant 2: Churches.

Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!

King Arthur: A Duck.

Sir Bedevere: …Exactly. So, logically…

Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck… she’s made of wood.

Sir Bedevere: And therefore…

Peasant 2: …A witch! A syllogism (Greek: συλλογισμός – syllogismos – “conclusion,” “inference”) is a kind of logical argument in which one proposition (the conclusion) is inferred from two or more others (the premises) of a certain form. In antiquity, there were two rival theories of the syllogism: Aristotelian syllogistic and Stoic syllogistic (www.wikipedia.org)

What’s the difference between a beauty and a witch?

5 years of marriage! 😀 😀 😀
