Paradox Bar

A bar or club that only lets in regulars. Only a few bars are true paradoxes. Others instead only restricts their audience to regulars on certain weekdays, or between certain times - or a combination of both.

Bouncer: "Sorry, we only let in regulars today. You're not going in."
Non-regular A: "What? How can you be a regular without being let in regularly? This bar is a paradox"
Non-regular B: "Yeah, fucking Paradox Bar"
---
C: "Wanna go down to the Havana Club?"
D: "Nah, we'll never get in - it's a Paradox Bar"

Schumer Paradox

A paradox (one (such as a person, situation, or action) having seemingly contradictory qualities or phases) in which said person (Amy Schumer, that one girl named carly etc.) misinterprets charming personality traits, making unfunny jokes and saying weird hurtful things, assuming that all failures are a result of "not doing it good enough;" perpetuating an eternal cycle of false feedback.

This would be considered a Definitional Paradox.

Fudgepacker Paradox

This refers to the phenomenon of gay males having more success attracting women than straight males do. This is paradoxical as, obviously, a gay male has no interest in the women they monopolize away from straight males.

"Gay men get all the women. Everyone knows this. It's called the Fudgepacker Paradox."

Sherlock's Paradox

Sherlock's Paradox is a paradox discovered by the iconographic detective Sherlock Holmes in a scene from a set of unpublished notes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The notes were put of for auction in 1988 by Conan Doyle's grandson to benefit NORML.

In the unpublished scene, Holmes and his trusted companion Dr. Watson are sharing a pipe while in Arabia. The bulk of the conversation revolves around the pipe being made of glass and employing "... a devilishly clever construction by which the pungent smoke is filtered through water ...". Hence the term sherlock for the type of water pipe which resembles the regular pipe of Sherlock Holmes.

The paradox originates in a comment where Holmes remarks that the pipe's bowl is always better packed, but the "... most pleasurable of all leisure lies in the exquisite emptying of the bowl." Watson remarks that logically his statement implies that the bowl is always better packed, yet must always be in the process of being smoked. Therefore, if one is to truly enjoy themselves they must remain smoking the "bowl" indefinitely.
