From dc-stuff:
” Let us pretend that there is a village in the mists of Nowhere.
Durak the Ignoble, leper, fool and resident of this village, has the habit of finding feces from all the creatures of hill and dale and bringing it back to the town square to play with. The townsfolk loathe Durak, because he is an idiot, and because he does nothing useful, and because he constantly brings the odor and filth of shit with him whereever he goes. The townsfolk repel him each time they see him with cudgels and brickbats, but Durak, having a thick skull and little mind to process “pain” inputs, is not affected even one tiny little bit by this. God protects fools and madmen.

One day, during a shit-finding excursion, Durak finds a large diamond. This diamond is the largest that any of the townsfolk have ever seen, and it is as brilliant as the summer sun. Light dances and sizzles among the natural facets of the jewel, exposing no flaw in their travels. The townsfolk, naturally, remark on the jewel:

“This is amazing. It may, in fact, be the first valuable thing that Durak has ever brought back to the village.”

Question for the audience: Is this a statement about Durak, or about the diamond?”
