The Badger: "Of course not all relations are transitive. What about "loves"? If John loves Mary and Mary loves Elvis, it doesn't follow that John loves Elvis - in fact, the opposite probably follows. It'd be a funny world if love were transitive!
Or imagine if love were symmetric! [he continued, chuckling] That would be terrible. Interesting, perhaps, for a few minutes, but good Lord, no! Or imagine if love were reflexive - we'd be able to tell who doesn't love himself - they'd vanish!"
