catbirdseat Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Jim and Bob were farmers. They were having coffee one morning at the diner when Jim said to Bob, "you know farming is a fine and dandy way to make a living, but it doesn't do much for the mind. I was thinking of taking some classes down at the community college." "That sounds like a great idea, Jim. Let me know how you like it. I might like to take some courses too", said Bob. Jim goes down to the local community college and speaks with the academic advisor. The man suggests that he take math, english, history and logic. "Logic? What is that all about?", asks Jim. The advisor tells him to go see the professor, which he does. The professor says, "So you want to know what Logic is all about?" "Yes, says Jim. "I don't have the slightest idea if I'll even like your class". "Well, I'll give you an example of logic in action. Do you own a weedeater?" "Why, yes, I do", says Jim. "Just from that simple piece of information, I can deduce the following: because you have a weedeater, you probably have a lawn and because you have a lawn, you probably have a house. And because you have a house, you probably have a wife. "So I can tell that just because you have a weedeater, you are heterosexual. Am I right?" "By God, you are right!", said Jim, totally amazed. He left excited and determined to take the class. When Jim met Bob for coffee, Bob was just as curious as Jim had been about logic. "It's like this", says Jim. "Bob, do you own a weedeater?" "No I don't", he said. "Well", said Jim, "according to logic, that means you must be gay." Quote
