From: Ian C. Dengler

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 dog house 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:  "Yup."
Neighbor 1:  "That is deductive reasoning."
Man:  "Cool."

Later that same day.
Man:  "Hey I was talking to that new guy who moved in next door."
Neighbor 2:  "Is he a nice guy?"
Man:  "Yes, and he has an interesting job."
Neighbor 2:  "Oh, yeah what does he do?"
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."
