>>212212409Every day I meet somebody new. This board's great because of all the interesting posters. So, I met this one poster—interesting story.
This guy had just posted a new thread, and I like to meet the posters, so I went over, en, and said, "Hey, I'm anon. Welcome to the board."
We got to chatting, and I asked him, "So what do you do for a living?"
He says, "I work at the university. I'm a professor of logic."
I said, "Logic? What the hell is that?"
He says, "It's kind of hard to explain, but let me give you an example."
I said, "Fair enough."
So he says, "Do you own a doghouse?"
I said, "Yeah, I do."
He says, "Well, that probably means you have a dog."
I said, "Yeah."
He goes, "That means you likely have a family."
I said, "Yeah, I do."
He says, "So you're probably married and have kids."
"Yeah."
"Then that means you're a heterosexual man."
I said, "Yes sir, I am."
And he goes, "See? That's logic. Starting from the fact that you own a doghouse, I made a series of inferences and figured out you're a heterosexual man."
I said, "Well, I'll be damned. That's something. Nice meeting you."
Later I browse the catalog, still thinking about the whole thing. I'm standing there with a bunch of anons, and one guy makes a new thread.
So I enter his thread and I say, "Well, OP, I met my neighbor today. He’s a professor of logic at the university."
The guy says, "Professor of logic? What the hell is that?"
I go, "It's kind of a system of reasoning... I don’t remember exactly, but I can give you an example."
He goes, "All right, go ahead."
So I ask him, "Do you own a doghouse?"
He says, "No, I don’t."
I go, "Well then, you must be one of them gays."
