Once there was a fellow who had just moved into a new house. His neighbor came to meet him that day and they got to talking.

“What kind of job do you have?”, asked the neighbor, and the fellow replied “I’m a Scientist of Deductive reasoning”.

“Deductive reasoning?”, asked the neighbor. “what’s that?”

“Well, let me give you an example”, the scientist replied. “I see you have a dog house in your back yard”.

“Yes”, the neighbor (whose name was Bill) replied.

“Well, by that I can deduce that you have a dog”, replied the scientist, whose name was Fred. “Yeah,” Bill said.

“And since you have a dog, I can assume that you have a family,” said Fred. Bill nodded.

“And since you have a family, I can assume that you’re married,” Fred continued. Bill continued to nod.

“Well, since you’re married, it’s safe to say that you probably have a wife”.

“Yes, I have a wife,” Bill replied.

“So, then, I can conclude that you are a heterosexual,” finished Fred, “and that is deductive reasoning”.

“Wow, that’s interesting,” said Bill. And so, the two went there ways for the day.

The next day, Bill was at his own work, and a co-worker said to him “I heard you have a new neighbour”. “Yes, I do”, said Bill. The co-worker replied “What kind of work does he do?”.

“He’s a Scientist in Deductive Reasoning,” replied Bill.

The co-worker asked “What’s deductive reasoning?”

“Allow me to give an example,” Bill said. “Do you have a doghouse?”

“No,” the co-worker said.

“FAG!”
