If he weighs the same as a duck, he's made of wood

Angry Mob: "We've found a witch, may we burn her?"
King Bedevere: "Bring her forward." (Examines the girl) "How do you know she is a witch?"
Angry Mob: "Well, she looks like one"
The Witch: "They dressed me up like this.... and this isn't my nose, it's a false one."
King Bedevere: "Did you dress her up like this?"
Angry Mob: "NO...No.... a bit, a bit. We did do the nose"
King Bedevere: "The nose....?"
Angry Mob: "And the hat, but she is a witch. Look she's got a wart."
King Bedevere: "What makes you think that she is a witch?"
Angry Mob: "What, she turned me into a newt."
King Bedevere: "A newt?"
Angry Mob: "........... i got better."
"BURN HER ANYWAY!!!! BURN HER!!!!"
King Bedevere: "Quiet, quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch."
Angry Mob: "There are??? Are there??? Tell us. Tell us. Do they hurt?"
King Bedevere: "Tell me, what do you do with witches?"
Angry Mob: "Burn Them!"
King Bedevere: "And what do you burn apart from witches?"
Angry Mob: "More witches!" (peasant gets slapped)
Angry Mob: "Wood!"
King Bedevere: "So, why do witches burn?"
Angry Mob: "Because they're made of... wood?"
King Bedevere: "Good! So how do we tell whether she is made of wood?"
Angry Mob: "Build a bridge out of her!"
King Bedevere: "Ahh, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?"
Angry Mob: "Oh ya."
King Bedevere: "Tell me, Does wood sink in water?"
Angry Mob: "No, no, it floats."
Angry Mob: "Throw her into the pond!"
King Bedevere: "What also floats in water?"
Angry Mob: "Bread, apples, very small rocks, cider, gravy, cherries, mud, churches, lead..."
King Arthur: "A duck!"
King Bedevere: "Exactly! So, logically....."
Angry Mob: "If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood."
King Bedevere: "And therefore?"
Angry Mob: "A Witch!"
