Bio:SPHINX: You must answer my question or die! What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening?
OEDIPUS: Samuel Johnson’s well-trained dog.
SPHINX: No! The answer is man, who crawls as a babe, walks tall in youth, and uses a stick in his dotage!
OEDIPUS: You said morning, noon and evening; not infancy, youth and dotage.
SPHINX: It’s metaphorical!
OEDIPUS: Besides, a baby doesn’t walk on four legs. It crawls on its legs and arms. Arms aren’t legs.
SPHINX: [Utters a howling, glass-shattering shriek] Metaphorical legs! Not literal legs! Legs in a man-ner of speak-ing!.
OEDIPUS: Well, it’s half metaphor and half literal, isn’t it; since the baby uses two legs and two arms. So of the four legs stipulated, two are literally legs and two are only metaphorically legs.
SPHINX: Git!
OEDIPUS: So, which is it to be, literal or metaphorical?
SPHINX: I’m not listening! I’m putting my wings over my ears! La! La! La!
OEDIPUS: And the noontime walking on two legs is literal, not metaphorical. So your riddle mixes metaphor and literal application in an inconsistent manner.
SPHINX: Shut up! Shut up!
OEDIPUS: Of these two answers to the riddle, mine better fits the terms of the question.
SPHINX: That’s not the point. When I asked the question I was not inviting you to answer it; I was demanding that you guess what was in my mind! I was thinking of man, not Samuel Johnson’s dog; you didn’t guess that. So you must die!
OEDIPUS: That’s hardly fair. Call your supervisor; I want to have a word with her.
[There’s a great deal of squawking and shrieking. The Over-Sphinx comes in.]
OVER-SPHINX: Can I help you?
OEDIPUS: Yes. I’m far from happy with the level of service I’m getting from this Sphinx. In the first place she asked a thoroughly misleading question, and now she’s trying to palm me off with an illogical and internally inconsistent answer, even though I provided, as I was requestred to do, a perfectly reasonable answer.
OVER-SPHINX: I do apologise sir. Might I offer you a replacement riddle? I can offer you ‘Is the present king of France bald?’ or ‘how many roads must a man walk down?’
OEDIPUS: No I think I’d like my money back.
