Post your best philosophical jokes here!

I'll start (I just made this one up):

Willard van Orman Quine has written a paper about "Pegasizing". According to him, Pegasus does not exist because "nothing Pegasizes". Quine is currently giving an interview. A listener asks a question:

Listener: So, does that mean that President Truman exists because "something Trumanizes"?

(everyone laughs)

Quine (angrily silent, arrogant): Yes. President Truman exists because something Trumanizes. It is what it is. Deal with it. End of story.

Since I'm enjoying a fine afternoon of good, old fashioned Antarctic Climate (i.e., that's how I would describe it, it's currently summer here in Argentina, I'm next to the coast, I can see the sea, but there's a storm right now, and it's not a tropical storm, it's cold, there's a hailstorm outside, and I can't see the Sun: the sky is just one dull, shade of gray).

Hmmm... Fair enough. I hate the climate of the province that I was born in. Is that my province's fault, "geographically speaking"?

No? Not good enough?

Sez u. Let me see if I can do better this time:

There once was a man from Nantucket. Or some bullshit. Who knows. That's the joke. Now you laugh. End of story. Learn the moral lesson that you had to learn, whatever that may be. No one knows what it is.
