Brain versus Brawn...



AJ Ayer, small, frail, slight as a sparrow and then 77, was entertaining a group of models at a NY party when a girl ran screaming that one of her friends was being assaulted in the bedroom. The parties involved turned out to be Mike Tyson and Naomi Campbell.

"Do you know who I am? Tyson said, "I am the heavyweight champion of the world!"

Ayer urged him to desist, "And I am the former Wykeham Professor of Logic. We are both preeminent in our field. I suggest that we talk about this like rational men."
