Jean-Paul Sartre is sitting at a French cafe, revising his draft of Being and Nothingness. He says to the waitress, "I'd like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream." The waitress replies, "I'm sorry, Monsieur, but we're out of cream. How about with no milk?"
I am having much fun passing this joke along. It is a hit with Francophiles and philosophers alike. My friend who is both is still laughing.
