Deductive Reasoning


Blonde:      "Hi, there, new neighbor, it sure is a mighty nice day to be moving."
Neighbor 1:  "Yes, it is, and people around here seem extremely friendly."

Blonde:      "So what is you do for a living?" 
Neighbor 1:  "I am a professor at the University, I teach deductive reasoning."

Blonde:      "Deductive reasoning, what is that?" 
Neighbor 1:  "Let me give you and example.  I see you have a dog house out back.  
              By that I deduce that you have a dog."
Blonde:       "That's right!"

Neighbor 1:   "The fact that you have a dog, leads me to deduce that you have a family."
Blonde:       "Right again!"

Neighbor 1:  "Since you have a family I deduce that you have a husband."
Blonde:      "Correct!"

Neighbor 1:  "And since you have a husband I can deduce that you are heterosexual."
Blonde:      "Yup."

Neighbor 1:  "That is deductive reasoning." 
Blonde:      "Cool!"

Later that same day...

Blonde:      "Hey I was talking to that new guy who moved in next door."
Neighbor 2:  "Is he a nice guy?" 

Blonde:      "Yes, and he has an interesting job." 
Neighbor 2:  "Oh, yeah what does he do?" 

Blonde:      "He is a professor of deductive reasoning at the University."
Neighbor 2:  "Deductive reasoning, what's that?" 

Blonde:      "Let me give you an example.  Do you have a dog  house?" 
Neighbor 2:  "No."

Blonde:      "Fag!"
