    behind you with an axe
    Or to (try and) make it clearer:

    I have 3 cards: AKQ. I deal you one, you don't see it.

    You have 1/3 chance of having the Ace.

    I have 2/3.

    I then show you the lowest card I have. No matter what card I show you, you still don't know if you have the ace as I always have either a King or a Queen, the lowest of which I show you. So this gives you no new information and doesn't change the chance of you or me having the ace.
    I'm the king of bongo, baby I'm the king of bongo bong.

    Maybe this will help:

    You have to nail one of three midget hookers bareback, and one of them doesn't have aids. You pick one, then the midget pimp who knows them intimately fucks one, very deliberately putting on an 8-layered full body condom after spraying her down with rubbing alcohol and bleach. Do you switch?

    Since you are showing the lowest card you have, if you show a King, that would mean you also have the Ace, and therefore I have the queen?

    Whereas, if you show a Queen, then you might have the King, and I have the Ace. Or you might have the Ace, and I have the King.
