{\fB After Monty Python (Sir Bedevere). \fP}

A witch is a female who burns. Witches burn - because they're made of wood. Wood floats. What else floats on water? A duck; if something has the same weight as a duck it must float. A duck and scales are fetched. The girl and the duck balance perfectly. "It's a fair cop."
