Watson: My barber told me something odd this morning.

Holmes: What was that, Watson?

Watson: He said that in chess it is possible to capture the King.

Holmes: And of course it is.

Watson: But, Holmes, there’s a rule against it.

Holmes: And why would there be a rule against something that wasn’t possible?

Watson: Oh.

Holmes: Indeed.
