"Don't you think it's odd that we're talking to each other in a fairly straightforward manner, in clear English? I mean, we are mice. We should just be, you know, crawling around on the floor, eating cheese."
"You're right," replied the second mouse. "But if we weren't able to talk, then you wouldn't be asking me that question. So how can we even be aware that the alternative exists if we wouldn't be able to question it? Perhaps we have always been able to talk, and being unable to talk is merely a false memory, imprinted by years of repression and abuse. Or perhaps it is simply the anthropic principle at work, though without a written record we're unable to say for sure."
"Wow." Said the first mouse. "You are a dick."
