Jimmy Tries to Guess That It's a Breadbox

Jimmy:  Okay, uhhhhhh, is it bigger than a breadbox?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  So it's smaller than a breadbox?
Scott:  Well, no.
Jimmy:  What do you mean no?
Scott:  No, it's not smaller.
Jimmy:  So it's bigger?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  It has to be either smaller or bigger.
Scott:  But it's not.
Jimmy:  Okay.
Scott:  It's not smaller or bigger.
Jimmy:  So it's the same size as a breadbox?
Scott:  Yes, it is the size of a breadbox.
Jimmy:  Okay, geez, what's the size of a breadbox.  I've never even seen a breadbox.
Scott:  Then why would you--?
Jimmy:  It's just something you ask.
Scott:  All right.
Jimmy:  What can you do with it?
Scott:  Isn't this just supposed to be 'yes' or 'no' questions?
Jimmy:  Sorry.  You're right.  Is it useful?
Scott:  Yes.
Jimmy:  Like, really useful?
Scott:  Uh...sure.  I guess.
Jimmy:  Is it more useful than a breadbox?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  Gosh, well, I mean a breadbox isn't even all that useful so--
Scott:  Yes.
Jimmy:  Yes what?  Yes, a breadbox is useful?
Scott:  Uh...I would think so?
Jimmy:  But this thing isn't as useful as a breadbox?
Scott:  No, I mean, it's as useful.
Jimmy:  Okay, but that really doesn't help much.
Scott:  It's exactly as useful in a breadbox in the very same way a breadbox would be useful.
Jimmy:  Is it a toaster?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  A toaster oven?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  Is it a bag you can put bread in?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  Is it prettier than a breadbox?
Scott:  How pretty is your average breadbox?
Jimmy:  Pretty pretty.
Scott:  Then, no it's not prettier than your average breadbox.
Jimmy:  So it's ugly?
Scott:  It's just not pretty.
Jimmy:  It's not pretty or it's not pretty pretty?
Scott:  I guess it's not pretty pretty.
Jimmy:  Is it a man holding a loaf of bread?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  Is it a statue of a man holding a loaf of bread?
Scott:  No.
Jimmy:  Is it a carton of bread?
Scott:  Could a carton be considered a box?
Jimmy:  No.
Scott:  Then no.
Jimmy:  I'm stumped.
Scott:  Keep going.
Jimmy:  If you put this thing next to a breadbox, would the two look similar to each other?
Scott:  Yes.
Jimmy:  More similar or less similar?
Scott:  That doesn't apply there.
Jimmy:  Huh?
Scott:  More or less similar doesn't apply.
Jimmy:  Oh...right.
Scott:  Jimmy--
Jimmy:  No, don't tell me, I feel like I'm getting close.
Scott:  Okay.
Jimmy:  Is it a coffin?
Scott:  Who puts bread in a coffin?
Jimmy:  So you DO put bread in it?
Scott:  Yes.
Jimmy:  Is it a bread envelope?
Scott:  It's a breadbox.
Jimmy:  Didn't I say that?
Scott:  You said it many times but you never came right out and ASKED if it was a breadbox.
Jimmy:  Oh.  Okay.
Scott:  A breadbox.
Jimmy:  Okay.
Scott:  Okay.
Jimmy:  Want to play again?
Scott:  Sure.
Jimmy:  Is it bigger than a breadbox?
Scott:  Yes.
Jimmy:  The Eiffel Tower?
Scott:  ...Never speak to me again.
