Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[NDR2]

Do thou hast any proof?

 

[Neri]

Is proof required?

 

[TBRS1]

Who decided to spell "proof" with two Os instead conserving vowels and using a single U?

 

[Cutesie]

Don't you know that spelling it that way would change its pronunciation (to be like "pudding")?

 

[tree]

Wouldn't that be helpful, since it's sometimes said that the proof is in the pudding?

 

[TBRS1]

So if I were to eat enough pudding I would inevitably arrive at the truth?

 

[tree]

What else could it possibly mean?

 

[Cutesie]

That you can see the proof by looking at the pudding, so that eating it would just destroy the evidence?

 

[tree]

What sort of special Pudding X-Ray Vision would be required for that?

 

[TBRS1]

You're not trying to talk me into digging into a pudding with my fingers searching for some ineffable truth will secretly filming me for your comedy podcast, are you?

 

[tree]

Why would you use your fingers?

 

[Cutesie]

Yeah, don't you want to use special tools that don't interfere with the integrity of the proof?

 

[TBRS1]

Do you know where I can rent an endoscope?

 

[Rodafina]

Isn't there a Rent-A-Scope near you with a wide variety of scopes to choose from?

 

[NDR2]

Do they have kaleidoscopes?

 

[TBRS1]

Is that some kind of calliope with telescopic lenses?

 

[Rodafina]

Are they authorized to use those?

 

[TBRS1]

Do the people who run it need to be certified, or could someone just hire a carny?

 

[Rodafina]

Wouldn’t that be rather expensive?

 

[TBRS1]

How can we know for sure until we put an ad in The Circus Daily and interview a few potential carny candidates?
