In a galaxy far, far away (London in the early 70's actually) I happened
to be searched in a vice squad raid on the Kensington market. (Just down
the road from the Albert Hall, it was a popular hangout).
The newbie vice squad cop who was turning out my pockets insisted on me
describing every item to him, no matter how innocent.
'Wot's this then?' 'It's a copy of 'Adventures in the Skin Trade' by a
very famous author named Dylan Thomas.'
'Wot's this then?' 'It's a packet of Rizla cigarette papers.' 'Don't
tell me, you roll your own, right?' 'Right!'
And then the magic moment; he happened upon a scrap of paper on which I
had written Zeno's paradox exactly as described, one statement on each
side.
'Wot's this then?' (What glee) 'It's a paradox!' I chirped.
I will never forget the sight of him turning and re-turning the piece of
paper and glaring at what he read with hostile suspicion!
Oh, and I wasn't busted - they found nothing else of interest.
Best Regards
