Reminds me of Moore's "here is a hand" paradox (or one man's modus tollens is another's modus ponens).
This also made me think of the aphorism "if water sticks in your throat, with what will you wash it down?"
Or "if salt loses its savor", although I wonder if they're really making the same philosophical point about relative weights of evidence on two sides of a contradiction/paradox.
