Reminds of something funny I heard last night of the Tonight Show (a 
popular night-time US TV show). The host read a story about a robbery 
that failed. A man went into a small store with only two employees. 
After several misfires including losing his mask when he drew his gun 
and mistaking a file cabinet for a safe, he handed one of the employees 
a roll of duct tape and told him to tie up the other one. Then he told 
the freshly tied up one to do same to the other one. The man told him 
that he would have to unbind him if he wanted him to do that. The 
would-be robber then took off running. To me, that was an extreme paradox.
