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

Neighbor 1: “So, what is it you do for a living?” New Neighbor: “I am a professor at the University, I teach deductive reasoning.”

Neighbor 1: “Deductive reasoning, what’s that?” New Neighbor: “Let me give you an example. I see you have a dog house out back. By that I deduce that you have a dog.” Neighbor 1: “That’s right.”

New Neighbor: “The fact that you have a dog, leads me to deduce that you have a family.” Neighbor 1: “Right again.”

New Neighbor: “Since you have a famly, I deduce that you have a wife.” Neighbor 1: “Correct.”

New Neighbor: “And since you have a wife, I can deduce that you are heterosexual.” Neighbor 1: “Yup.” New Neighbor: “That is deductive reasoning.” Neighbor 1: “Cool.”

Later that same day: Neighbor 1: “Hey, I was talking to that new guy who moved in next door.” Neighbor 2: “Is he a nice guy?” Neighbor 1: “Yes, and he has an interesting job.” Neighbor 2: “Oh, yeah, what does he do?” Neighbor 1: “He is a professor of deductive reasoning at the University.” Neighbor 2: “Deductive reasoning, what is that?” Neighbor 1: “Let me give you an example. Do you have a dog house?” Neighbor 2: “No.” Neighbor 1: “Fag!”
