I always liked the example of the infinite hotel. You have a hotel with an infinite number of rooms. Every room is full. An infinite number of new people show up and want a room. Can the hotel accommodate them?

Yes. Instruct every current resident to look at their room numbers. Multiply by 2 and move your stuff to that room.

Then there are an infinite number of odd numbered rooms for the new comers.
