homunculus-argument

the comedy gold gag where someone is asked for something extremely specific, and goes like "god damn it why would I- Do I look like the kind of a guy who would just have 48 ferret harnesses laying around?" and then everyone blankly stares at them because now that you mentioned it, yes, indeed they do. As a matter of fact, that is the most perfect description of this man, one that nobody could have come up with, but which is exact enough for anyone to pick him out of a crowd. The more exact, the better.

And after this pause they'll just give up and groan "ugh, fine. I'll go get the harnesses."
