Two builders
(Chris and James) are seated either side of a table
in a rough pub when a well-dressed man enters, orders
a beer and sits on a stool at the bar. The two builders
start to speculate about the occupation of the suit...
Chris: - I reckon he's an
accountant.
James: - No way - he's a stockbroker.
Chris: - He ain't no stockbroker ! A stockbroker wouldn't
come in here!
The argument repeats itself
for some time until the volume of beer
gets the better of Chris and he makes for the toilet.
On entering the
toilet he sees that the suit is standing at a urinal.
Curiosity and the several
beers get the better of the builder...
Chris: - Scuse me.... no offence meant, but me and
me mate were
wondering what you do for a living?
Suit: - No offence taken ! I'm a Logical Scientist
by profession!
Chris: - Oh ! What's that then ?
Suit: - I'll try to explain
by example ...Do you have a goldfish at
home?
Chris: - Er ... mmm ... well yeah, I do as it happens!
Suit: - Well, it's logical
to follow that you keep it in a bowl or in a
pond. Which is it?
Chris: - It's in a pond!
Suit: - Well then it's reasonable
to suppose that you have a large
garden then?
Chris: - As it happens, yes I have got a big garden!
Suit: - Well then it's logical
to assume that in this town if you have a
large garden then you have a large house?
Chris: - As it happens I've got a five bedroom house...
built it myself!
Suit: - Well given that you've
built a five bedroom house it is logical
to assume that you haven't built it just for yourself
and that you are
quite probably married?
Chris: - Yes I am married, I live with my wife and
three children.
Suit: - Well then it is logical
to assume that you are sexually active
with your wife on a regular basis?
Chris: - Yep! Four nights a week!
Suit: - Well then it is logical
to suggest that you do not masturbate
very often?
Chris: - Me? Never
Suit: - Well there you are!
That's logical science at work!
Chris: - How's that then?
Suit: - Well from finding
out that you had a goldfish, I've told you
about your sex life !
Chris: - I see! That's pretty impressive... thanks
mate!
Both leave the toilet and
Chris returns to his mate.
James: - I see the suit
was in there. Did you ask him what he does?
Chris: - Yep! He's a logical scientist!
James: - What's that then?
Chris: - I'll try and explain. Do you have a goldfish?
James: - Nope
Chris: - Well... you're a wanker then. |
