PIZZA

If I understand English correctly - a leap of faith from my part
- you might write this in the following way:

"Whatever I see, whatever I know, I'll never admit ET an H.,
because I freaking believe ET is inadmissible."

Let's call this the pepperoni principal.

Last time I had an argument with a one-way skeptic (let's be
polite here), we were, the believer and the scientific - I let
you wonder who's who - in front of a pizza.  I pointed to the
pizza:

- What?

- The pepperoni, man.

- What about the pepperoni?

- Who makes it?

- Uh?

- Who makes the pepperoni?

- Some people, of course.

- Prove it.

- Uh?

- I don't believe anybody makes the pepperoni. There is no proof
of that.

- You must be crazy.

- Hey.  Never saw the doods.  Did you?

- Not exactly.

- My point exactly.

- You must be crazy.

- My point exactly.

We went on with that for a while.  Enough to have the believer
doubt that there was anyone truly running the pizzeria.

Got any evidence on who runs pizzerias?

Prove it.

I won't believe you.

Whatever you come up with.

This is crazy, man.

My point, exactly.
