Apparently this guy knew a thing or two about logic.
The other day, a friend told me about one of their most frightening experiences as a child. Their mum’s handbag was stolen and with it, the house keys. The mum bundled them into the car and drove home at ‘seventy miles an hour down residential streets,’ and when the kid overcame the g-force sufficiently to suggest they slow down the mum said, ‘I want to attract the police – we’re probably being burgled right now…’
Thankfully all ended safely. No-one was hurt and the house locks were changed without event. But it got me thinking and from it came this month’s Wordspark.
Here are a series of statements, all using the classic X=Y (If X is true, the Y must also be true) structure. Complete them in any way you see fit, but seek to use the most skewed logic you can… and for it still to be just possible that someone might actually think that way.
1) If I hold my breath until John next blinks then…
2) If I never tell my son I love him then…
