This gentle warning is proudly displayed near one of the shipyards of Tramway in Florence, to be exact on the perimeter of an area to store materials inside the train station Santa Maria Novella.
The sentence reads: "The sons of a bitch and slut are requested not to leave bottles, cans, etc. .." Read it
m'รจ built a semantic question: the status of "sons of bitches and bitch" depends of leaving waste in that area or not? From a simple logical analysis of the text it would seem not. Sound a bit 'like this: "Those who actually are the children of these ladies are requested not to leave litter."
But it makes little sense. It 'obvious to a simple analysis of the humoral time that the epithet is aimed at those who already' have left waste. To paraphrase the text: "Those who waste leaving the children here are the usual sir, do so in order to stop, please. "
At this point, however, a curious cycle of syllogisms, in which the two meanings of the phrase chasing each other without end:
- if you leave the waste here, you are the children of those ladies
there - if you are the children of those ladies there, you should not leave litter
here - if you do not leave any litter here, you are not the children of those ladies
there - but if you are not the children of those ladies, then you can not litter, but becoming so children of the same and thus losing the right to do so
The logic does not go hand in hand with the heat ...
