"Why did you call your file 'text.pdf.pdf'."

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you have the extension twice?"

"Oh, that? Safety."

"What?"

"It's like when you tie your shoes. You put a safety knot to prevent it from untying, right?"

"Yes."

"It's the same with the double extension. I want to make sure that the computer really knows it is a PDF."

"Your explanation is stupid-stupid."

"Why do you say stupid twice?"

"Safety. I really want you to know that it is stupid."
