You can't argue with geometry
Just last weekend my wife was trying to coerce talk me into some chores.
SuperMom: "Now would be a good time to mow the lawn."
Turtle: "Actually, it's 11:30 and about 10,000 degrees outside with 90% humidity. It's not the first thing on my to-do list."
SuperMom: "Really? What else is on your list?"
Turtle: "Let's see. I have to do some plumbing outside - too hot. I need to do some wiring in the attic - too hot. I need to sand, primer, and paint the bedroom ceiling - too hot and dusty, and you and Munchkin are here. I need to clean the gutters, dig up the old fence posts, bury pavers under the new fence to keep the dogs from digging out, add the expansion tank to the solar water heater...."
SuperMom: "So which is at the top of your list?"
Turtle: "Well, none, really."
SuperMom: "What kind of list has no beginning?!"
Turtle: "It's a.......a circle!"
