WATT's KNOTT the Matter with these Guys?

[A little Telephonic Conversation]

Knott: Who's calling?"

Watt: "Watt."

Knott: "What is your name, please?"

Watt: "Watt's my name."

Knott: "That's what I asked you. What's your name?"

Watt: "That's what I told you. Watt's my name."

[A long pause]

Watt: "Is this James Brown?"

Knott: "No, this is Knott."

Watt: "Please tell me your name."

Knott: "Will Knott."

Watt: "Why not?"

Knott: "Huh? What do you mean why not? "

Watt: "Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name? "

Knott: "But I told you my name!"

Watt: "Didn't you say you will not?"

Knott: "Not not, Knott, Will Knott!"

Watt: "That's what I mean."

Knott: "So you know my name."

Watt: "Of course not!"

Knott: "Good. So now, what is yours?"

Watt: "Watt. Yours?"

Knott: "Your name!"

Watt: "Watt's my name."

Knott: "How the hell do I know? I am asking you!"

Watt: "Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have not even told me yours yet."

Knott: "You have been patient, what about me? I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet."

Watt: "Of course not!"

Knott: "See, you even know my name! "

Watt: "Of course not!"

Knott: "Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?"

Watt: "Because I don't."

[Pause]

Knott: "What is your name?"

Watt: "See, you know my name!"

Knott: "Of course not!"

Watt: "Then why do you keep asking Watt is your name?"

Knott: "To find out your name!"

Watt: "But you already know it!"

Knott: "What?"

Watt: "See, and you know mine!"

Knott: "Of course not!"

Watt: "Exactly!"

NOW THEY ARE AT A POINT WHERE BOTH THINK THE OTHER KNOWS

THEIR NAME, BUT THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW THE OTHER'S NAME.

Knott: "Listen, listen, wait. If I asked you what your name is, what will be your answer?"

Watt: "Watt's my name."

Knott: "No, no, give me only one word."

Watt: "Watt"

Knott: "Your name!"

Watt: "Right!"

[pause before it hits him]

Knott: "Oh, Wright!"

Watt: "Yeah!"

Knott: "So why didn't you say it before?"

Watt: "I told you so many times!"

Knott: "You never said Wright before."

Watt: "Of course I did."

Knott: "Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?"

Watt: "I do not."

Knott: "Well, there you go, now we know each other's name."

Watt: "I do not!"

Knott: "Good!"

[pause before it hits him]

Watt: "Oh, Guud!"

Knott: "Good."

Watt: "No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?"

Knott: "No, it's Knott!"

Watt: "Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Guud."

Knott: "Yes Wright."

NOW THEY BOTH THINK THEY KNOW EACH OTHER'S NAME AS WELL!
