One day Bill is on a walk, when he sees his new neighbor, John.
He greets him and they start getting to know each other.
"So what do you do for a living, John?"
"Well I'm a logic professor"
"What's that?"
"Instead of telling you, it would be easier if I showed you. Do you own a dog house?"
"Yes, I do"
"Well then logically I can assume you own a dog"
"I do"
"And logically, I can assume that you have kids"
"Why yes, I do"
"And logically, I can assume that you have a wife"
"Yeah, I do"
"That's what I do for a living"
"Wow!" Bill exclaimed.
They talked for a little longer before parting ways. Bill continued on his walk when he saw his other neighbor, Liam.
"Hey Liam! Did you meet our new neighbor, John?"
"No, I didn't"
"Well, he's a logic professor!"
"What's that?"
"Well, instead of telling you, it would be easier if I showed you. Do you own a dog house?"
"No"
"Well then you're a homosexual"
