They get paid to put up with students

Yes, but all people can float if they so wish.  

Then unlike witches they can choose to not float so that they fail the test!

Ah, but witches actually melt in water.

That's a lie, they melt in acidic rain

That's only the withces of OZ...Everybody knows that English witches weigh as much as a duck, so you know that they float, and because they float you know they are made of wood. As a result of all of that you know that they burn!

I would point the court to Exhibit A: The Wicked Witch of the West.

Now, scruffy, you're just being stubborn.  Witches is witches is witches is Pelosi.

Your exhibit is biased

We're all biased.

Not all witches are created equal! I can't argue witht he Pelosi comment though...grumble grumble grumble....

And there are plenty of exhibits showing that witches burn...I just can't find them at work. Lousy work...

Sure they burn, but they also melt when in contact with water.

What about the rare witch that dies when they contact a duck

That has nothing to do with weighing the same as a duck, which is what I'm getting at.

 

Why weigh a supposed witch with a duck?  Just splash water on them.  If they melt, witch, if not, burn her.

The damned if you damned if you don't approach, every good hunters tatic

But people burn too, so that doesn't tell you anything!

Yes, but people don't melt in water.  Witches do.  So, they will most certainty be taken out by the first trial.  More time in the day for drinking and playing video games.

Well there is the pinprick test

Whats that? You prick them, and if they turn you into a newt they are a witch?

No.  You prick them, and if they bleed sawdust, they're a witch.

Or a scarecrow, which also burn

And scarecrows aren't people.

Well that seems logical enough to me. I can agree to that as the standard test!

Scarecrow look like straw though, so that is an easy enough test. And besides if the scarecrow is walking and talking it should be burned as it is clearly bewitched!

You willing to be the first subject?

I hate tests...

Who doesn't
