Three cats are hanging out one evening just shooting the breeze.
The first one says, “I really like milk.” The second one chimes in “I couldn’t agree more. There’s nothing quite like a good bowl of milk.”
The third cat says, “I don’t know – I hear that water is better to drink than milk and costs less too.” The first cat says, “
OK, but I’m sure we all agree that mice are the most delicious thing on the planet.” The second one says,
“Absolutely!” the third says, “Yuck – all of that nasty fur! None for me, thank you.”
The first two cats are taken aback, but the first one eventually says,
“Maybe you have a point about mice, but surely there’s nothing better after a long day of work than enjoying some catnip.”
The second cat says, “Hear, hear: A more universally true statement has never been made.”
The third one says, “I think it’s better to clear my mind, not cloud it up with catnip.”
This is too much for the first cat who says “Why are you always arguing against us?” The third one says,
“Didn’t you know: I’m the devil’s advocat.”
