This restaurant serves the the greatest dish ever, or at least the concept of the greatest dish ever.
If you complain about the total lack of sustenace they will argue that if such a dish fails to exist, then a greater dish — namely, a dish so great that no greater can be conceived, *and* which
exists — can be conceived. This is of course impossible: nothing can be greater than a dish of which no greater can be conceived. So a dish of which no greater can be conceived — exists.
Tuck in.

Do they provide Occam's Razors as tableware ? |
|
| |
Drizzled with an ad absurdio reduction. |

//The waitress has no clothes.// Not that I'm complaining, but... are we at the same restaurant? |
|
| |
Any dish can be made greater simply by adding more food to the plate (definition 1), or reducing the price (definition 2). |
|
| |
The greatest uniform that can be conceived. So to speak. |
|
| |
//It is not clear from the description whether the meal is abstract or concrete//
Well a concrete meal would surely be worse for your teeth than an abstract one, so the concept approach scores again I feel! |
|
| |
The problem is that the place serves crap beer. |
|
| |
//It is not clear from the description whether the meal is abstract or concrete// |
|
| |
That depends largely on your theological position. |
|
| |
Don't get me started on how they don't fill the water glasses all the way up to the top... |
|
| |
They try, but tend to fall foul of Xeno's Paradox (q.v.) |
|
| |
What about dessert ? If small, frozen desserts based on dairy products, chocolate and fruit sauces are on offer, the dinner discussion could be continued ad nauseam in an attempt to "Teach The Bombe Phenomenology" .... |
|
| |
Do they serve milk before meat? |
|
| |
I'll take the Kant Combo. |
|
| |
I don't like it, but I just have to eat one. |
|
| |
Free food is greatest, so you'd need some philosophers doing the accountancy, too. |
|
| |
Do they serve the chicken or the egg first? |
|
| |
Thanks a million for that link [8th] - haven't seen that film for years! |

Now, bomb, consider this next question, very carefully. What is your one purpose in life?
BOMB #20
To explode, of course.
DOOLITTLE
And you can only do it once, right?
BOMB #20
That is correct.
DOOLITTLE
And you wouldn't want to explode on the basis of false data, would you?
BOMB #20
Of course not.
DOOLITTLE
Well then, you've already admitted that you have no real proof of the existence of the outside universe.
BOMB #20
Yes, well...
