I will tell you a story i know nothing about. Pay at the gate, admision is free. Pull up a chair and sit on the floor. 2 guys back to back facing each other. It was a bright day at midnight. They drew their swords and shot each other. a faint echo heard by the deaf guy. if you do not beleive my story is true, ask the blind guy he saw it too.

It's a series of contradictions:

telling a story you don't know

pay at the gate / admission is free

pull up a chair / sit on the floor

back to back / facing each other

bright day / midnight

swords / shot each other

echo heard by a deaf man

the blind guy saw it
