Deductive Reasoning
Man: "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."
Man: "So what is it you do for a living?"
Neighbor 1: "I am a professor at the University, I teach deductive reasoning."
Man: "Deductive reasoning, what is that?"
Neighbor 1: "Let me give you an example. I see you have a doghouse out back. By that I deduce that you have a dog."
Man: "That is right."
Neighbor 1: "The fact that you have a dog, leads me to deduce that you have a family."
Man: "Right again."
Neighbor 1: "Since you have a family I deduce that you have a wife."
Man: "Correct."
Neighbor 1: "And since you have a wife I can deduce that you are heterosexual."
Man: "Yep."
Neighbor 1: "That is deductive reasoning."
Man: "Cool."

Man: "He is a professor of deductive reasoning at the University."
Neighbor 2: "Deductive reasoning, what is that?"
Man: "Let me give you an example. Do you have a dog house?"
Neighbor 2: "No."
Man: "Fag."
