Logic and logical truth:

  "If it's not the case that `if you love me then I'll jump off the Green
Building', then you love me."

Lxy: x loves y
Jwz: w jumps off z
s: speaker
l: subject (listener)
g: green building

~(Lls > Jsg) > Lls

The greater-than sign should be interpreted as a conditional.
In disjunctive normal form it looks like this:

~~(Lls > Jsg) v Lls
(~Lls v Jsg) v Lls
(~Lls v Lls) v Jsg

This is clearly quantificationally true.

For anyone who likes this sort of thing, try:
"All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty
back together again".

For simplicity you may assume there is only one king (constant).
Hint: You will need a predicate for combinations of horses and men.

enigma (William C Dagnon):

I plan to live a long life, keeping falla happy
as long as the good Lord will allow me to, and

every want to return home, without her--of nothing can i be sure
after such a wonderful happenstance of our meeting each other.

	Nobody home
