I got into a big fight once at Interliant when I explained matter of factly that it was perfectly valid, logically, to have a false premise imply a false conclusion.
It wasn't really a big fight, the other person manage to sway the crowd that I knew absolutely nothing about logic. So I just shrugged and said, "Well apparently, that's a fact."
I also had an joke using a double-entendre (also known as a snotty pun) on "absolutely nothing" The pun was a Hegelian reference. The whole joke was ill-conceived. Its better just to describe it. There.
