OR gate: I could have custard on my cherry pie, or ice cream on my cherry pie, 
or custard and ice cream on my cherry pie.

XOR gate: I could ride my bicycle to work, or drive my car to work, but I could 
not ride my bicycle to work and drive my car to work simultaneously.

PROBLEM: there's no smoke without fire.

But what situation could I find myself in, which indisputably is analogous to 
the logic of an AND gate?

Fire? Smokeless fuels = flames without smoke. Smouldering embers = smoke 
without flames. Fire is a complex system, irreducible to simple logic.

So what if I decided I want to ride my bicycle to work while simultaneously 
driving my car? A new vehicle is born, the automocycle. The revs of the motor 
engine is a function of how fast I peddle...
