Shakira has hips that don’t lie. Her evil doppleganger has hips that don’t tell the truth. You may ask one question.
So if I cannot tell which one of these large-hipped ladies is the true Shakira, I must approach their hips cautiously! What should my question be? Of course the simplest option would be to ask a question to which I already know the answer. But then I would use up my one question and lose the chance to gain any other information I might need to ask of the truthful hips– Oh! Of course! I’m looking at this on too complex a level! The rule never said I need to address my question to the hips at all! I will ask their butts instead– in which case I am guaranteed a truthful answer, because big butts cannot lie! Now I must carefully choose what to ask, so as not to give away the fact that I’m trying to covertly find out if she is Shakira… oh, but no, I’ve miscalculated again. I forgot, it’s not big butts themselves that cannot lie! it’s the one who likes big butts. Butts themselves are notorious liars– hence the saying, “the cake is a lie.” Oh, she is clever to almost catch me in that web of misdirection. So clever it only strengthens my belief that she is really Shakira…
