Lovely, nearly fell off my seat… 
But [and nowhere near as good a tale] did you hear about the Heideggerian
who entered the Eliminatist Lounge bar and went up to the Eliminatist In
Waiting and asked him:
What is a thing?
The Waiter replied:
There is no such thing as “a thing”.
The Heideggerian thought a while and then asked:
What is “a thing”?
The Waiter, exacerbated, waited not and replied:
There is no such thing as “”a thing”".
The Heideggerian smiled, thought a while and then asked:
What is “”"a thing”"”?
The Waiter didn’t even wait for the Heideggerian’s sentence to end before
exclaiming:
If you don’t stop asking me “what is a thing” I’ll give you something
painful to think about!
The Heideggerian remained silent for a few minutes and asked:
Does “something” exist?
The Waiter exploded:
No, there is no such thing as “”something”"!
The Heideggerian smiled and asked:
What is a thing?
