Objective Reality

“Three baseball umpires are having lunch together. The first umpire says ‘Well, a lot of them are balls, and a lot of them are strikes, but I always calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.’

“The second umpire says ‘Hmph. I calls ‘em as they are.’

“The third umpire slowly looks at his two colleagues and declares ‘They ain’t nothin’ until I calls ‘em.’”
