Re: Official Joke Thread
Two older country guys were sitting and talking like old friends do... The first said "Y'know, Clyde, I've been seeing on the wife's phone that internets thing... there's a hell of a lot to look at out there. There's web book things for all kinds of stuff, like hunting, fishing, trucks, John Deeres, shooting... anything you can think of. It's got me to thinking, to be honest; kids is grown and moved out, Delilah and me are doing okay, I got the time... think I'll go to that community college."
Clyde agrees, and says "Yeah, that oughta be a good time, Joe, why not? You and I quit school to work after 9th grade to work, it'd be good to see ya get some book learning in ya."
So Joe goes to the school, and talks with a student counselor. They agree that along with some of the basics, there'd be a few courses that'd be especially rewarding and could count towards credit. "One of those that you might enjoy, Joe, is 'Logic and Critical Analysis'" offered the counselor, enjoying his meeting with an older gentleman.
"What's that?" asks Joe.
"Well, it's about extrapolating information from just a few basic points. Let me give you an example: Do you own a weed whacker?"
"Yeah, I do..."
"Okay... knowing that, I can assume that you have a lawn to maintain because you own one of those. That means you live in a house, and not an apartment, right?"
"Yeah..."
"And because you live in a house, that would most likely mean that you're married and have a family, correct?"
"Yeah, I do... 4 kids with Delilah."
"Great. So taking it even further, it's safe to say you're not a homosexual, then, right?" the counselor continued expansively.
"Yeah, that's sure right...! Hey, that's neat, I like that one, sign me up for that course."
And so it went. Joe enrolled, and after struggling a bit, started to pick up on his courses.
A few weeks went by, Joe and Clyde are visiting again. Clyde asks "Say, how's them college courses going for ya?"
Joe replies "Aw, it's neat. I'm learning how to work a computer, Delilah and I are working on a budget and planning for retirement, I'm really enjoying Civil War History, and this Logic course I'm taking is a good time too..."
"Logic course? What's that?" Clyde asks.
"It's a real trick, about how to figure stuff out with very little information. Lemme give you an example; do you own a weed whacker?"
"No", Clyde admitted.
"That's cuz you're gay."
