ab absurdo
Latin: a suggestion or statutory interpretation that is, or leads to, an absurdity / Establishment of the validity of a person's position by pointing out the ridiculousness (absurdity) or foolishness of the opponent’s arguments.
It took me about 20 minutes before I stopped laughing like a mad scientist on the verge of revealing a diabolical plan to his arch enemy, the masked vigilante, which is the saddest thing he could have done, because, we all know he's going to be thwarted and run off scampering like a dog. OK, I just lost my train of thought.
Oh, yeah. Laughter.
Apparently, the Nepalese anti-corruption authority is banning airport officials from wearing pants with pockets stitched to them because they believe - wait for it - pockets are the reason people take bribes. *gasp*
No, no. I'm not even kidding. They released a press statement and everything.
In times like this, you have to wonder: Shouldn't they be banning stuff like socks, gloves and thermal underwear? I don't care if people die of hypothermia in Nepal, clothes can be used to store bribe money and 10mL vials of nitroglycerine too. Just saying...
Adjourned.
Legal jargon is my bitch.
