Buridan's bridge

One proposed humorous solution for the Buridan's bridge sophism is to let Socrates cross the bridge and then throw him into the water on the other side.

Buridan's Bridge (also known as Sophism 17) is described by Jean Buridan, one of the most famous and influential philosophers of the Late Middle Ages, in his book Sophismata. It is a self-referential paradox that involves a proposition pronounced about an event that might or might not happen in the future.
