A: "What do you love most about me?"
B: "Nothing."
A: "How can you say that?!"
B: "I mean... the set of things I love about you doesn't attain its upper bound, so there's nothing I love 'most'!"
A: "Aww. That's actually kind of sweet."
B (thinking): "Please don't ask if it's the empty set..."
A: "Wait... it's not the empty set, is it?"
