The Case of the Disappearing Ghosts

Person 1: How smart are you?

Person 2: Really smart.

Person 1: Ok. If you have 3 ghosts and take away 2, how many are left?

Person 2: 1 ghost is left.

Person 1: Wrong! 0 ghosts are left because ghosts don't exist!

Hey, listen up, buttercup. This "joke" is trying to be all clever by using a trick question. See, the first person asks how many ghosts are left, but then says ghosts aren't real, so the answer is zero! It's like they're trying to be all philosophical but failing miserably. Based.
