In case you'd rather see a video performance of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YskIqxFhHE Here's the script: --Scene-- A job interview at the Department of Semantics between character 1 and character 2... 1: (reading a document) "It says here you are certain that you're right for the job." 2: "That's right." 1: "Well what exactly do you mean by 'certain'?" 2: "Certainty is the absence of possibility." 1: "Really? Are you certain about that?" 2: "That's certainly a possibility." 1: "A certain possibility? How can you possibly say that?" 2: "Because it wasn't certain that I would say that." 1: "But wasn't it possible that you saying that could have been a certainty?" 2: "Certainly." 1: "Didn't you mean to say 'possibly' just now?" 2: "I dunno, possibly." 1: "I'm fairly certain you did." 2: "One can't be 'fairly certain', that's not possible." 1: "So then that must be certain?" 2: "I am uncertain about that." 1: "You are impossible!" 2: "I am most certainly am not!" 1: "Now you tell me you're uncertain about what uncertainty is." 2: "But I am certain of what is not possible." 1: "But if you are uncertain about what certainty is, then how can you possibly be certain of what's not possible?" 2: "I guess it's possible that my uncertainty makes that impossible. But if that truly is possible, then you can't possibly be certain about your statement either." 1: "Could it be possible that every statement of certainty is subject to such uncertainty?" 2: "It's not impossible." 1: "So...it's possible that certainty is impossible?" 2: "Isn't that what I originally said?" 1: "Ah, certainly!" 2: "Exactly." 1: "You sir, are hired!" 2: "Excellent." 1: "...possibly." --End--
