Thus a reply I have used once or twice myself
"Sir (or madame), by your imminently knowledgable assessment, to
play the gurdy takes three elements. The gurdy, the player, and the
monkey. Now, as there is music being played, obviously all three
elements are present. Since this instrument in my hands being a
mechanical construction and not a living organism is by irrefutable
nature neither a monkey or a player, we first eliminate the gurdy as
the object in question. Now, while I will not elaborate on my
genetic heritage, in this particular case, since I am operating the
aforementioned and confirmed gurdy, that would place me in the seat
in this particular situation with the placenote engraved 'player' on
the plate in front of me. Thus, since I see no one else here, and
there is still one yet unfilled position in this trinity of
gurdyism, all possible arguements aside, whatever or whomever is
left, no matter how improbable, must tusly and without challenge be
the monkey. Would you care for a banana?"
Usually leaves them speechless - especially the academic types who
make such faux-pas while I am speaking to students.
