Archbishop of Canterbury: Mr Russell, I am told that you logicians have shown that from a contradiction, any conclusion will follow. Bertrand Russell: Yes your grace. Canterbury: Ah, well, from 2 = 1, can you show that you are the Pope? Russell: The Pope and I are two, are we not? Canterbury: Indeed. Russell: Well then, since two equals one, the Pope and I are one, so I am the Pope.
