A Tit for a Tat (152)
Tit: Maybe you keep drinking coffee because you are addicted to caffeine.
Tat: I’m not.
Tit: Prove it.
Tat: I can stop any time.
Tit: How about now?
Tat: No hurry.
Tit: Why?
Tat: Since I can stop any time!
Tit: Yeah… any time but now!
Tat: So?
Tit: The only way to prove you can stop any time is to stop now.
Tat: Here! (puts down cup)! I’ve stopped.
Tit: But for how long?
Tat: For now! (takes up cup)
Tit: Looks like the only way to prove you can really stop is to never take up the cup again – from now onwards!
