Jerry: It's all about oil.

George: No, it all about world domination.

Jerry: But we already have world domination.

George: Keep your voice down.

Jerry: Well, what was it about then.

George: All right, I'll tell you. It was about nothing.

Jerry: You can't have a war about nothing. Maybe it was about Enron.

George: It wasn't about Enron. It was about nothing.

Jerry:  That doesn't make any sense.

George: Nothing is the only thing the war could have been about.

Jerry: Why couldn't it have been about something?

George: Because if it was about something it would really have been about  something else.

Jerry:  But if it's about nothing there's nothing else it could have been about.

George:  There you go.
