[Reader-list] A paradox

[Jeebesh Bagchi]

Yesterday a friend who loves conceptual paradoxes about our modes of  
thinking told me this story after reading postings in this list.

There was a kingdom with a big gate.
Two guard always stood at the gate.
They would ask the visitor the reason for entering the kingdom.
If the reasons were true they would be allowed in.
If the reasons were a lie, they were executed.

A man came in one day to the big gate.
Said to the sentry.
"Dear sentry the reason for my entering the gate is to be executed by  
you."

Now the sentries were in a dilemma.
