Or try this one: My twin brother is an only child.
You’ve just had the pleasure of enjoying a self-refuting statement.
Two of the recurring topics in the course I teach at FHCS that appear here, there, and everywhere throughout the year are relativism and absolute truth.

There is no such thing as absolute truth.
…which is itself an absolute statement…ergo, a self-refuting statement.
If my 11th graders can remember that over the summer, I’ll die a happy man.
This actually happened:
Student comes into class with a mouth full of Sausage McGriddle.
Twenty minutes later, same student informs the teacher that he’s “gotta go really bad.”
Teacher denies request followed by a citation of Galatians 6:7. And that wasn’t even in the lesson plan.
Just the other day I was discussing the rise of Rationalism with my 11th grade Bible class, and I offered a few bonus points to anyone who could tell me who said “I think, therefore I am.”
One student that shall remain anonymous quickly and confidently shouted out “Dick Hart!”
Laughter ensued.
