And it never fails

#We%20All%20Float%20Down%20Here

Faith based, to make it easy. So as not to have to deal with those questions.

Because they're made of...........wood?

So if she weighs the same as a duck............she's made of wood.

And therefore..............

.......................................................A WITCH!!!

Bedevere: So, how do we tell if she is made of wood?
Peasant1: Build a bridge out of her!
Bedevere: Ahh, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
Peasant1: Oh yeah...
Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant1: No
Peasant3: No. It floats!
Peasant1: Let's throw her into the bog! (yeah yeah ya!)
Bedevere: What also floats in water?
Peasant1: Bread
Peasant3: Apples
Peasant2: Very small rocks
(Bedevere looks annoyed)
Peasant1: Cider
Peasant3: Grape gravy
Peasant1: Cherries
Peasant3: Mud
King: A Duck!

"there are ways of telling if she is a witch"

"Are there?"

"Tell us"

"Do they hurt?"

The last line delivered by Michael Palin, who also delivered the "BUUURN HER" line, because his character there is a sadistic little shit

I know there's a logical fallacy in this. It's not undivided middle because you're going at it from the opposite direction.

I'll start a thread if I figure it out.

Mostly its an undistributed middle fallacy but there are some others as well.
