Truth and Bull - sketch by douglas brent smith, 1989.
Have you ever felt completely upside-down?
"How do I know that you're telling the truth."
"Because I always tell the truth."
"Well, I know that's not true."
"How do you know?"
"Because it can't be true. How do I know that anything you say is true if I can't trust what you just said."
"Because I am 100% truthful."
"That's bull."
"Or is it?"
Feeling upside down, the conversation ended. Were they any closer to the truth? Likely, not.

Levitating a Small Guitar - sketch by douglas brent smith (probably 1991).
"Do you think that he could levitate a large guitar, that is to say, a normal sized guitar as well?"
"No doubt. It might take some practice, though."
"Does it come naturally?"
"It comes with practice."
"That is more like a ukulele than a guitar."
"Nope. It has six strings. Guitar."
"Small"
"But he could also levitate a large guitar. Maybe one wasn't available."
"Well, you've got to start someplace."
"Yes."
