Quickly! Before you read this, carefully set down all drinks and food. Don't you dare put them back toward your mouth. Good. Now sit down--but not too fast! You have to be prepared for this joke Andrew just told me.
Ok. Here it is:
A linguistics professor, doing a grammatical survey to a newly discovered indigenous tribe in the Amazon, encounters a peculiar phenomenon. During his survey, he discovers that the natives use the same word to refer both to green items and blue items. Thus, the linguistics professor came to the metaphysical conclusion that Color MUST be relative. His proof? When he would ask the natives what color the sky or grass was, they would use the same word!!!
Oh lord! What an absurd kerfuffle of logic!
Oh man, that's good.
