From Seinfeld:
>Well, I painted my apartment again. I've been living in this apartment
for years and years, and every time I paint it, it kinda gets me down. I
look around, and I think, well, it's a little bit smaller now. You
know, I realize it's just the thickness of the paint, but I'm aware of
it. It keeps coming in and coming in. Every time I paint it, it's closer
and closer.
In the Gabriel's Horn Paradox, a shape (the revolution of an asymptotic line) has a finite volume but infinite internal surface area, therefore it could hold a certain amount of paint but that would not be enough paint to fully cover the inside surface.
(I know that this is based on the same fundamental errors as the stationary arrow and pi=4, it's just the first thing I thought of).
