Subject: Mr. Watt and William Knott......
Read conversation between Mr. Watt and William Knott...
"Who's calling?" was the answer to the telephone.
>>"Watt."
"What is your name, please?"
>>"Watt's my name."
"That's what I asked you. What's your name?"
>>"That's what I told you. Watt's my name."
A long pause, and then from Watt, "Is this James Brown?"
>>"No, this is Knott."
"Please tell me your name."
>>"Will Knott."
YOU LEFT THE TALKERS AT A POINT WHERE THEY WERE TOTALLY CONFUSED.
READ THE REST OF WHAT HAPPENED...
"Why not?"
>>"Huh? What do you mean why not?"
"Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name?"
>>"But I told you my name!"
"Didn't you say you will not?"
>>"Not not, knott, Will Knott!"
"That's what I mean."
>>"So you know my name."
"Of course not!"
>>"Good. So now, what is yours?"
"Watt. Yours?"
>>"Your name!"
"Watt's my name."
>>"How the hell do I know? I am asking you!"
"Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have
not even told me yours yet."
>>"You have been patient, what about me?"
"I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told
me yours yet."
>>"Of course not!"
"See, you even know my name!"
>>"Of course not!"
"Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?"
>>"Because I don't."
[Pause]
"What is your name?"
>>"See, you know my name!"
"Of course not!"
>>"Then why do you keep asking ,Watt, is your name?"
"To find out your name!"
>>"But you already know it!"
"What?"
>>"See, but you know mine!"
"Of course not!"
>>"Exactly!"
NOW THEY ARE AT A POINT WHERE BOTH THINK THE OTHER KNOWS THEIR NAME,
BUT
THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW THE OTHER'S NAME.
"Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be
your answer?"
>>"Watt's my name."
"No, no, give me only one word."
>>"Watt"
"Your name!"
>>"Right!"
[Pause before it hits him]
"Oh, Wright!"
>>"Yeah!"
"So why didn't you say it before?"
>>"I told you so many times!"
"You never said Wright before"
>>"Of course I did."
"Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?"
>>"I do not."
"Well, there you go, now we know each other's name."
>>"I do not!"
"Good!"
[Pause before it hits him]
"Oh, Guud!"
>>"Good."
"No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?"
>>"No, it's Knott!"
"Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Guud."
>>"Yes Wright."
NOW THEY BOTH THINK THEY KNOW EACH OTHER'S NAME AS WELL !!
