QUOTE : Schoolmaster: Now, my boy, can you tell me how much two times two is? ...<br />Officer: Two... times two... Let me see! That makes two two!<br />Schoolmaster: Well, well... somebody hasn't done his homework!<br />Officer: (ashamed) Yes, I have, but... I know what it is, but I can't say it...<br />Schoolmaster: You're trying to get out of it! You know, but you can't say. Perhaps I can help you! (He pulls the Officer's hair)<br />Officer: Oh, this is dreadful, really dreadful!<br />Schoolmaster: Yes, dreadful, that's precisely what it is when a big boy like you has no ambition.<br />Officer: Yes, that's right, one must mature... Two times two... is two, and I can prove it by analogy, the highest form of proof. Listen, now! ... One times one is one, so two times two must be two! For what applies to one must apply the other!<br />Schoolmaster: This proof accords perfectly with the laws of logic, but the answer is wrong.
