Let's go with a seasonal example, Consider the hypothesis "reindeer can't fly". I go on the roof with a herd of reindeer, and start pushing them off one by one.
  1. How many reindeer do I have to go through to prove reindeer can't fly?
  2. How many reindeer do I have to go through so that no reasonable person would believe reindeer really can fly?
  3. How many reindeer do I have to go through before I am arrested for cruelty to animals?

Overheard at a dog show: "When you're judging a sheepdog, if you burrow through the hair and find only one eye, you've got the wrong end of the dog."

(might have been about some other very long-haired dog...)

You have been lucky. Only since there are comparably few knights around in the US, you have been able to get a room anyway. I mean a hotel which only allows knights in and none out will sooner or later be full!
