Weird
While I was waiting for my turn at the cashpoint today, I overheard two blokes arguing. Here's how it went:
Bloke 1: I only had three days off over Christmas.
Bloke 2: I only had three days off over Christmas.
Bloke 1: No you didn't, I did.
Bloke 2: No, that was me. I only had three days off over Christmas.
Bloke 1: No no no, I only had three days off over Christmas. Me.
Bloke 2: I only had Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day off.
Bloke 1: No you didn't, I only had Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day off.
Block 2: You're wrong, that was me.
They kept at it, but by then were out of earshot.
I don't know what strange constraint meant that it was impossible for both of them only to have three days off over Christmas, but suspect that it doesn't exist and that all that kept them arguing was the certain belief that of all they people in the whole country, each was the only individual who only had three days off.
They both had today off, though. Ha!
