- I have a Wisconsin fishing license.
- The fishing license allowed me to go fishing in Wisconsin legally.
- But Wisconsin does not exist.1, 2
- However I existed while I was in "Wisconsin", and I went fishing legally.
- So, to summarize, the fishing license allowed me to go fishing in a place where wisconsin does not exist.
- Obviously, other states, such as Illinois or Pennsylvania, are not Wisconsin, and neither is, say, the moon, even if it is made of cheese.
- Therefore Wisconsin does not exist anywhere.
- The fishing license allowed me to go fishing in a place where Wisconsin does not exist.
- Wisconsin does not exist anywhere.
- Therefore a Wisconsin fishing license allows me to fish anywhere.
A similar case can be made for hunting licenses, building permits, and property deeds, so by buying a small plot of land and building a shack someplace in Wisconsin, as well as paying a small fee for a fishing and a hunting license, one is authorized to convert Manhattan into a hunting and fishing resort.
A brief synopsis of an oft cited corollary is as follows: the fish we were fishing for did not exist. We caught no fish that we knew of, but may have caught any number of nonexistent fish. Any non-fish entity we pulled out of the water, be it seaweed, ducks, or nothing, has an equal possibility of being a nonexistent fish. In fact the only thing that cannot be a nonexistent fish is an existent fish. However, it may be possible to catch an existent and nonexistent fish at the same time. Therefore, a Wisconsin fishing license authorizes you to pull anything out of the water, anywhere, as long as you use a fishing pole.
Similarly, since a Wisconsin hunting license authorizes you to kill nonexistent deer, and all locations have an equal possibility of containing a nonexistent deer, you can shoot anywhere and be shooting at a nonexistent deer, regardless of what existent things or persons may be in the line of fire. Thus the mystery is solved as to why James Bond has to go to Wisconsin every year to renew his license to kill."
