Talk like a Physicist

"When you are asked a question, think of improbable ways a statement could be true and then at the end make sure to give correct answer.

When a mere mortal is asked a question “Can a pig fly?” typically the answerer is “No.”

However a physicist will respond as follows:
“They could if there was no gravity, or in interstellar space, or if they had wings, or if they were dropped off a cliff (though it would be a short flight). Generally the answer is NO.”"
