There was a young man who said, "God Must find it exceedingly odd To think that the tree Should continue to be When there's no one about in the quad."
Ronald Knox's reply:
"Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd; I am always about in the quad. And that's why the tree Will continue to be Since observed by, Yours faithfully, God."
