A bunch of old friends are catching up at a high school reunion. Tom has become a sucessful Psycologist, while John settled down and had kids. They are chatting about their careers, when John asks Tom about what he studies as a Psycologist, Tom begins speaking about Deductive Reasoning. John doesnt have any idea as to what this is, and asks Tom to explain.
Tom offers an example, "Well John, do you have a dog house in your yard?"
John replies, "Why, yes I do."
"Well since you have a dog house, I can infer that you have a dog,"
"Yes, I do have a dog."
"and since you have a dog, I can infer that you have children,"
"Yes, I have 3 kids!"
"and since you have kids, I can infer that you have a wife"
"Yes, I have a wife, she is right over there!"
"and since you have a wife, I can infer that you are a heterosexual male"
"Yes, yes I am. Wow that Deductive Reasoning is amazing"
The next day at work, John is talking to his buddy Dave about Deductive Reasoning.
"Dave lemme show you this Deductive Reasoning, it is really cool!"
Dave replies puzzled, "OK, I guess."
"So do you have a dog house in your backyard?" John asks
Dave is interrupted, "No, I dont -"
"Queer!!!"
