When we think about taking classes at school, we often think about the basics, such as reading, writing, and arithmetic. Although those may be a very important part of our education, they are by no means the only type of education that we will receive. In fact, there are many classes that we could take and each of them can prove to be beneficial. That is the story behind the following joke about a redneck who took a logic class at the community college and in the end, he insulted his redneck friend.
Two Rednecks, Jim and Dan, are sitting at their favorite bar, drinking beer. Jim turns to Dan and says, “You know, I’m tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I’ll go to the Community College and sign up for some classes.”
Dan thinks it’s a good idea, and the two leave.
The next day, Jim goes down to the college and meets Dean of Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, history, and Logic.
“Logic?” Jim says. “What’s that?”
The dean says, “I’ll give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?”
“Yeah.”
“Then logically speaking, because you own a weed eater, I think that you would have a yard.”
“That’s true, I do have a yard.”
“I’m not done,” the dean says. “Because you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house.”
“Yes, I do have a house.”
“And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family.”
“Yes, I have a family.”
“I’m not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you must have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosexual.”
“I am a heterosexual. That’s amazing, you were able to find out all of that because I have a weed eater.”
Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the Dean’s hand and leaves to go meet Dan at the bar. He tells Dan about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic.
“Logic?” Dan says, “What’s that?”
Jim says, “I’ll give you an example. Do you have a weed eater?”
“No.”
“Then you’re a queer.”
