A Hume Joke
The man answers, ‘I belive in Hume’s philosophy and he said that it’s logically possible that a beautiful woman will suddenly materialize on that stool. And no one has ever refuted Hume. If one does appear, then obviously I’ll seem very clever indeed, and I’ll have the inside track with her.’
‘That’s ridiculous,’ says the bartender, ‘plenty of very attractive women come to this bar all the time. You’re reasonably presentable, and extremely articulate; if you applied your charm on one of them, you might succeed.’
‘I thought about trying that,’ replies the philosopher, ‘but I couldn’t prove it would work.’
