Socrates is crossing a bridge on his way to the marketplace. A great booming voice is heard from on high and he submits, kneels, and prostrates himself before God. Then God says,
'I have heard great things of you O humble one. Your wisdom is not of this world. However, I have set up for you a delicate challenge. Shall you prove the Oracle of Delphi right once again??
If the next statement that proceeds from your mouth is true I shall let you pass. If the statement is false I shall cast you into the river. What say ye?'
Socrates turns and replies,
'You are going to throw me into the river'
