twisted logic

Basic algebra teaches you:

If     A=B
and  A=C
then B=C

Maria: You've grown out of some of these clothes. We should hand them on to someone else.

Nikos: Can we hand them to Javier?

Maria: Yes, of course.

Nikos: Good! Because he gave me some clothes the other day.

Maria: Wait. Why did Javier give you some clothes?

Nikos: Because he'd grown out of them. So, it would be good to give him some of my clothes that I've grown out of. Wouldn't it?

Maria: ...............

Makes sense to Nikos.

Will, you've totally lost me on the algebra - this is the girl who wasn't even allowed to SIT O Grade maths as she only got 12% in the prelim. (Sorry, that'll be O Level and mock, in south-of-the-border parlance.)

But I like Nikos's thought processes :-D

I think kind of makes sense to me...
