Speaking of leaf blowers reminds me of a joke that a friend of mine often tells during his training classes. It goes like this…
I have been talkin to ya’ll for sometime about using logic in order to figure out how to fix a problem. Do y’all know what logic is? Two good ole boys from Arkansas, Jimbo and Bubba (well…southern Arkansas), are sitting at their favorite fishin hole, drinking some beer. Jimbo turns to Bubba and says, 'You know, I'm tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow, I think I'll go down to the community college and sign up for some of them classes.' Bubba says “that sounds like a good idea”. The next day, Jimbo and Bubba go down to the college to sign up for some classes. Jimbo goes into the office first and talks to a lady counselor that suggests Jimbo take Math, English, and Logic. Jimbo says “I understand Math and English, but Logic… What’s that?” She replies “I’ll give you an example. Do you have a weed eater?” Jimbo says “yah, I got a weed eater”. She says “logic tells me that if you have a weed eater, then you have a yard. Do you have a yard?” Jimbo says “ Yah, I got a yard.” She goes on “ logic tells me that if you have a yard, you have a house. Do you have a house?” Jimbo replies “Yeh, I got a house. How’d ya know?” She replies “ logic tells me that if you have a house, you have a family. Do you have a family?” Jimbo replies” Yep, I got a family, how ya doin that?” She replies “ logic tells me that if you have a family, you have a wife. Do you have a wife?” Jimbo says “ Yeh, I got a wife.” She says “logic tells me if you have a wife, then you must be heterosexual.” Jimbo says “ Ya **** right I’m heterosexual. Now you gotta tell me how you doin that?” The counselor replies “ well that’s how logic works, once you know something you can usually figure out something else using logic.” Jimbo replies “well I’ll be ****ed.” Excited about going to college, Jimbo goes out of the office and tells Bubba that he has signed up to take Math, English and Logic. Bubba says “I understand Math and English, but what’s Logic?” Jimbo replies “ well, it works like this, do you have a weed eater?” Bubba answers “No.” Jimbo replies “ well logic tells me that you must be Gay!”
