i tried to punish the rhetoric teacher, who just uttered an erroneous sentence, by overloading his broca's area:

"If you don't have something to say, don't say it."

"Don't say what?"

"What?"

"Your statement,
'If you don't have something to say, don't say it.',
is equivalent to
'If you have nothing to say, don't say it.',
right?"

"Err..."

"So, your advice actually is
'Don't say nothing.', ..."

"Nah, you don't understand, actually, I..."

"... which is equivalent to
'Say anything.'
But I have to disagree. I don't think it would be a good idea to say anything due to the lack of an idea what to say."

"It is? So why didn't you say so in the first place?"

in his attic, Bertrand Russel labeled socks "left" and "right" for those who didn't label their socks on their own. Alonzo Church frowned upon this practice, but couldn't find a better method, which didn't prevent John McCarthy from creating a Labeling of socks programming language (Losp).
