Once upon a time there lived a fellow named Rainyday. He was a
  thoughtful man who loved puzzles, but often went hungry because
  he didn't feel like weeding the garden. One day a friendly
  shopkeeper offered, "I'll give you a sweet potato if you can
  solve the problem of existence by Kantian analytic a priori
  methods involving the unity of the plurality of the totality of
  the axioms of intuition. Are you up to it?"

  Of course Rainyday took up the challenge, but he found it
  difficult to demonstrate the necessity of the reality of the
  totality of what is. Every day he sat under a three-limbed tree,
  thinking.

  Finally his patient mother protested. "Rainyday, why aren't you
  in the garden? The slugs are bigger than the cabbages! What do
  you do all day under that tree?" Explained Rainyday, "I think
  there for a yam."
