  • College Logic

    A friend sent me this -  I thought it was funny since it shows the lack of good common sense that some people have, but I hope no one finds it offensive. Oh well, I'm always offending someone, it seems like. More to come later.

    Two Colorado
    guys, Jim and Harry, are sitting at their  favorite coffee shop.  Jim turns to Harry and says, You know, I'm
    tired of   going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the University and
    sign up for some classes. 

    Harry thinks it's
    a good idea, and the  two leave. The next
    day, Jim goes down to the college and meets 
     the dean of admissions, who signs
    him up for the four  basic classes: Math,
     English, History, and Logic.  

    Logic, Jim asks, what's that?  

    The dean says, I'll show you. Do you own a weed
    eater?  

    Yeah.  

    Then logically because you own a weed eater,
     I think 
     that you would have a yard.

    That's true, I do
    have a yard.

    I'm not done, the
    dean says. Because you have a yard, I think 
    logically that you would have a house.

    Yes, I do have a
    house.

    And because you
    have a house, I think that you might logically have a family.  

    I have a family.  

    I'm not done yet. Because you have a family,
    then  logically you must have a wife.

    Yes, I do have a
    wife. And because you have a wife, then logically you must  be a 
    heterosexual.  

    I am a heterosexual.

    That's amazing.
    You were able to find out all of
    that  because I have a weed eater.  

    Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the
    dean's  hand, and leaves to go meet Harry
    at the coffee shop.  

    He tells Harry about his classes, how he is
    signed up for Math, English, History, and
    Logic.  

    Logic, Harry asks, what's that?  

    Jim says, I'll show you. Do you have a weed
    eater?

    No.

    Then you're a
    queer.
