"The barber in town is one who shaves all men, and only those men, who do not shave themselves. So who shaves the barber?"
"The barber probably."
"Ah, but then the barber shaves themselves, and thus cannot be shaven by the barber! Hence the paradox."
"I don't get it."
"Ah, well, see, a paradox is what we call a statement or situation that contains an inherent impossibility-"
"I know what a paradox is, but I don't see how that's one of them."
"Fine, let's localise it, your home town, who was the barber?"
"Her name is Melanie "
"Never mind then."
