Deductive Reasoning

Neighbor 1: "Hi there, New neighbor, it is sure a mighty nice day to be moving."
New neighbor: "Yes, it is, and people around here seem extremely friendly."
Neighbor 1 : "So what is it you do for a living?"
New neighbor:"I am a professor at the University and I teach deductive reasoning."
Neighbor 1 : "What is deductive reasoning?"
New Neighbor: "Let me give you an example. I see you have a dog house out back. By that I deduce that you have a dog."
Neighbor 1: "That's right"
New neighbor: "The fact that you have a dog, leads me to deduce that you have a family."
Neighbor 1: " right again"
New neighbor: "Since you have a family, I deduce that you have a wife."
Neighbor 1: "correct."
New neighbor: "And since you have a wife, I can deduce that you are a heterosexual."
Neighbor 1: "yup"
New neighbor: "That is deductive reasoning."
Neighbor 1: "Cool"

Later that day
Neighbor 1: "Hey , I was talking to that new guy who moved in next door."
Neighbor 2: "Is he a nice guy?"
Neighbor 1: "Yes, and he has an interesting job."
Neighbor 2: "Oh, Yeah what does he do?"
Neighbor 1: "He is a professor of deductive reasoning at a University."
Neighbor 2: "Deductive reasoning, What is that?"
Neighbor 1: "Let me give you an example, Do you have a dog house?"
Neighbor 2: "No"
Neighbor 1: "Fag."
