Question #10:
One fish, two fish OR red fish, blue fish?
The argument:
You might ask, “What does that even mean?”
Well…
After staring at the question for a while
because let’s face it -- this takes
nonsensical to a whole new level -- I believe it comes down to two basic
arguments: Three fish of an unspecified color (one fish + two fish = three
fishes, but we have no idea what color they are) OR two fish that are,
respectively, red and blue?
It’s
okay; you can read that again…
So which matters more? Quantity paired with
ambiguity? Or color wrapped in certainty? And YES, I get it, Dr. Seuss meant
that one fish was red, and the other was blue (everyone knows that!), BUT
that’s not how I posed the question: One fish, two fish OR red fish, blue fish?
OMG
~ what are we even talking about right now!?!?
I can’t even…

Red fish, blue fish by a landslide! :-)

Please tune in next week for another utterly-mindless, nonsensical
question!
Until then...
Cheers!

I'm all about knowing what I'm getting! I agree
ReplyDeleteI agree! I want to know what I'm getting. Taking it a step further I could ask Bass fish or Catfish? Living in the south EVERYBODY loves catfish - fried, blackened Cajun, etc... I am not a fan. I would rather have bass fish - baked, fried, smoked, etc.... So I definitely want to know what I'm getting. Anybody else hungry now?
ReplyDeleteIf red is Salmon than I am all for it, Blue fish well I would give away.
ReplyDeleteNot specified colors nope, not even interested!
