But this is how Germans usually talk. They are known world-wide to
be inquisitive existentialists afterall. And really, in the end, who can
say whether it is a hat or two (or possibly three) gloves? Do they
really exist? Do they represent the physical form of God? What does
it mean to laugh? Does it mean anything at all? I think not. Therefore,
man isst ein Hut. One thus eats a hat in defiant yet oppressive
ignorance. Alas, cruel world! Well, I have to sleep now.
