Signing Up For Philosophy 101
Signing up for philosophy 101
Hi I'm here to sign up for the philosophy course
Why?
Because I have many unanswered questions!
Like what?
What is the meaning of life?
What is life?
I don't know, that's why I'm here
But...are you really here?
I don't know I think so!
What is the proof of your existence?
I have a birth certificate, a Photo ID
.
ok ok How do I know this is you and not your parallel you from another
parallel universe?
You have to take my word for it!
ok
So how much for the course?
$500 cash only
I don't have cash, I have debit card only
No debit, this is Philosophy school, we only believe in what we see
invisible money is not money!
ok I will have to go to the bank and come back do you have time?
What is time?
It's 5:30pm
no, not what time is it, what is time?
I don't know, that's why I want to take the courseto answer all my questions
Speaking of time what time do classes start?
7am
That's really early isn't it?
Not really, it's all relative...there are no absolutes...there is no correct answer
it's all true if you believe it!
so I can come at 8am then?
No! absolutely not, classes start 7am sharp!
So then what can I expect to learn about God?
We don't believe in God, God only exists in the minds of the weak. We only believe in what we see.
Ok then ...what about wi fi?
what about it? Do you have it?
Of course we have the highest technology here!
How can you have wi fi if you just said you don't believe in what you can't see?
you can't see it, yet it exists how is that possible?
(Silence)...
Can I bring my notebook?
yes and bring a pen too!
no...I mean my computer
Of course, of course, bring your computer
ok (5 minutes later)
So I'm back with the cash...here's your $500.00
Thank you
Wait a minute! How do you know that's real money?
We have a counterfeit detection system to identify false bills.
You know what! I have a built in counterfeit wisdom detection system
it's called common sense! I changed my mind, I want my money back!
What money? What is money?
My $500.00
Who are you? Do you really exist? Do I exist? Does money exist?
I'm calling the police, tell it to the judge!
