Renes Descartes walks into a bar...
and orders a drink. When he finishes it, the bartender asks "Ready for another?". Descartes answers "I think not," and *POOF* he disappears.

5. I drink, therefore I am?
Is that the hackneyed response you're looking for?

It's true, BWT, but you didn't hear it from me.

7. No, not really.
Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." The joke is, since he doesn't think, he doesn't exist.

Of course, there is a flaw in this reasoning: the inverse of an implication is not necessarily valid. Only the contrapositive need be valid. Therefore, if Descartes did not exist, he could not think, but his not thinking does not negate his existance.

Still a funny joke, though... I actually told it last night.

8. It's a good thing I don't smoke pot anymore

Otherwise, the following two sentences: Of course, there is a flaw in this reasoning: the inverse of an implication is not necessarily valid. Only the contrapositive need be valid. Therefore, if Descartes did not exist, he could not think, but his not thinking does not negate his existance. would have me awake all night, wondering at the philosophical ramifications.

Sorry, I'm on pun-patrol this evening. Get thee to a punnery, and all that. Clever word use will not be tolerated, unless it's really really funny. That is all, citizen. Continue about your business and pretend as if you're not being watched.

:beer: Maybe it's just my own alcohol abuse that leads me down these roads? :beer:

10. "And Renes Descartes was a drunken fart

I drink therefore I am.

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed

-Python, Monty.
