Literally everything is a SET
The following anecdote is told of William James. [...] After a lecture on cosmology and the structure of the solar system, James was accosted by a little old lady.
"Your theory that the sun is the centre of the solar system, and the earth is a ball which rotates around it has a very convincing ring to it, Mr. James, but it's wrong. I've got a better theory," said the little old lady.
"And what is that, madam?" inquired James politely.
"That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a Giant T̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶ Set."
Not wishing to demolish this absurd little theory by bringing to bear the masses of scientific evidence he had at his command, James decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.
"If your theory is correct, madam," he asked, "what does this T̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶ Set stand on?"
"You're a very clever man, Mr. James, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first T̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶ Set stands on the back of a second, far larger, T̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶ set, who stands directly under him."
"But what does this second T̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶ Set stand on?" persisted James patiently.
To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,
"It's no use, Mr. James—it's T̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶ Sets all the way down."
