53. Q17: In the Mahabharata, X was the son of Ghatotkacha. God Shiva,
pleased with him, gave him the three infallible arrows. When X learnt
that Kurukshetra battle had become inevitable, he wanted to witness
what was to be the Mahabharata War. He promised his mother that if he
felt the urge to participate in the battle, he would join the side which
would be losing. Krishna disguised as a Brahmin stopped X to examine his
strength. When asked how many days he would take to finish the war
alone, X answered that he could finish it in one minute. Krishna told that
whichever side he supported will only make the other side weak due to
his power. Nobody will be able to defeat him. Hence he is forced to
support the other side that has become weaker due to his word to his
mother. Thus, in an actual war, he will keep oscillating between the
two sides, thereby destroying the entire army of both sides and
eventually only he remains. Hence, Krishna avoids his participation from
the war by seeking his head as charity.

59. Q19: "'X?' is a very simple thing. It's only funny
because it's in a situation. It was an all Y line. It
wasn't funny. If you put it in human terms; you come home
late one night from work, you walk up to the gate in the
yard, you walk through the gate and up into the front room,
the door is partly open and there's some guy shooting under
your living room. So what do you do? You run if you
have any sense, the least you can do is call the cops.
But what if you come up and tap him on the shoulder
and look over and say 'X?' You're interested
in what he's doing. That's ridiculous. That's not what you
say at a time like that. So that's why it's funny, I think.
In other words it's asking a perfectly legitimate question
in a perfectly illogical situation.“
Chuck Jones on Y's catchphrase "X?"
