Logic with Douglas Richardson (1)

[goldvermilion87]

CAROLYN: You are not going to win this time, Douglas.

DOUGLAS: An interesting theory. Let me propose an alternative one: I am going to win this time.

CAROLYN: Ah, but ...

DOUGLAS: And this is a theory I have built up from the following postulates: One – I win every time; Two – this is a time; Three – I will win this time.


(From Cabin Pressure, S1E2, "Paris" by John Finnemore)

Great deduction! You could almost use it as an example when discussing logic with your students! :-D

I actually decided to make a collection because Douglas does this a lot, and if I ever taught Logic, I'd like to have a collection. :-D

I was just listening to this one again the other night! Love me some snarky/logical Douglas. Also, I SO want to be in your class!

In somewhat related news -- this reminds me so much of Martin recording himself on his phone to audition for the safety video!!
