So I am gonna type this one.. and I'm gonna use EF board members just to spice it up.
So I'm holding a class on Deductive reasoning at the local community college, and this prospective student named Wootoom comes up to me and says.
"Hey Professor Lestat, I know you are a great professor and I like your classes, but what exactly is this 'Deduction' thing?"
I tell little Wootoom, no problem, I can show you with a pretty easy example.
Wootoom lights up and says "Cool!"
I say, "Wootoom, do you own a lawnmower?"
Wootoom looks a little confused, but says "Yes."
So I say "Well based on the fact that you own a lawn mover, I would deduce that you own a home"
Wootoom is really excited and says "yeah, you are right!"
So I say "well, since you own a home I would deduce that you also have a family, is that right?"
Wootoom say "Boy, you are right again!"
So I say, "and since you have a family, I would deduce that you have a wife, is that right?"
Wootoom says "yep, right again"
I follow with "So since you have a wife, I deduce that you are heterosexual"
And Wootoom gets a little serious look on his face and say "Absolutely correct"
So I say "Well that there Wootoom is deductive reasoning, my class will teach you all about it and how it applies in the real world!"
Wootoom is extatic and says he will go register right away. And he is off on his merry way.
Later that evening, Wootoom runs into his neighbor, Jerseyart. Wootoom is eager to share the news about this new and exciting class, and says "Hey JerseyArt, come on over here, I wanna tell you about this new thing called 'Deductive reasoning'"
JerseyArt comes over and says "Ok, what is it all about?
Wootoom says, "well let me show you. Jerseyart, do you own a lawnmower?"
Jerseyart says "No, I don't"
Wootoom says "you're a homosexual then!"
