Justice Dipak Misra said to arguing lawyer, smilingly ,"Common sense is very uncommon".
Lawyer replied smilingly, "Yes, Sir."
Justice Dipak Misra quickly asked back smilingly, "What did you understand by this ?"
Everyone laughed and the lawyer replied, "Nothing."
Justice Nariman quickly came to rescue of lawyer by saying, "I too have understood nothing."
Again everyone laughed.
The arguments then once again resumed.
LOGIC
To say that "Common Sense is uncommon" looks like saying "X is Not X"
But here the word "Common" has two different meanings in same sentence.
Another point is since "Common" and "Sense", two words are used, the logical format can be :
Xy is not X
Think over this.
I too have yet not understood.
