In a perfect world
The great philosopher began his speech by saying;
“in a perfect world.”
He then proceeded to describe his thoughts in his usual long winded philosophical style.
Upon completion of his speech, a reply came from the audience from an uneducated, unsophisticated peasant who had spent his entire life working the fields not far away.
“Well! were not living in a perfect world now are we?”
To this there was ‘deafly silence.’
