Replying to The Joke Thread
Whats up? I figured everybody could use a little more cheer in their day, so I thought a funny joke thread would be something that we can all try and keep going where we can all contribute a really, or even mildly funny joke you know or have heard so that we can all read everyone else's and a get a decent laugh out of the day. Maybe include where you heard the joke or whatever... just something to keep a smile on our faces.
I'll start.
...so this joke was told to our class by our Archaeology professor after discussing deductive and inductive reasoning during class:
So there's this guy who moves into a new house in a nice little neighborhood, and he walks up to the fence between his yard and his neighbor's to have a quick chat. His neighbor asks him,
"Well, Mr. Jones, what do you do?"
Mr. Jones replied, "I am a professor of deductive reasoning."
"Deductive reasoning? What's that?" asked his neighbor (we'll call him Mr. Smith).
"Well," Mr Jones said, "I'll give you an example... I see that you have a dog house."
"Why yes, I do." replied Mr. Smith
Mr. Jones continued, "And by knowing that you have a dog, I am going to assume that you have children."
"Yes I do!" exclaimed an excited Mr. Smith.
"And since you have children, I may also assume that you have a wife."
"Yes I do!" replied again an excited Mr. Smith.
"And be knowing that you have a wife, I may also assume that you are straight." Mr. Jones concluded
"Well, yes I am." said Mr. Smith
"That, my friend, is called deductive reasoning." said Mr. Jones.
Now, Mr. Smith was so amazed by Mr. Jones' performance that the next day he had to go and share his newfound knowledge with the neighbor on the other side of his house. He approached the fence and yelled,
"Hey Bill, get over here! My new neighbor is a professor of deductive reasoning!"
"Deductive reasoning? What's that?" asked Bill.
"Well, I'll give you an example," said Mr. Smith. "I see that you don't have a dog house......."
haha, very funny, I know. Now share yours!
