The Official Joke Thread

Joe goes next door to greet his new neighbour. The two men hit it off and when the topic of occupation comes up, the neighbour said he was a statistician.

"What does that mean?" says Joe.

"Well, let me show you," says the neighbour. "Do you have a doghouse, Joe?"

"Why, yes I do."

"Ok, I'm going to assume that because you have a doghouse, it's pretty likely you have a dog, correct?"

"Yes, I do have a dog."

"Well, if you have a dog I'm led to believe you probably have a family as well."

"Yes, that's true."

"And if you have a family I'm inclined to believe you're married."

"Yep."

"And if you're married, I think it's safe to assume you're heterosexual?"

"Yes."

"See," says the neighbour. "Just by asking whether or not you had a doghouse, I was able to infer what your sexuality was through statistics."

The two men talked a bit more and then Joe left for work. Throughout the day he was very intrigued with what his neighbour had talked about so he decided to talk about it with a man he sat next to on the bus-ride home.

"Hey, man," says Joe. "Do you know anything about statisticians?"

"No," says the man. "What do they do?"

"Well, here, let me show you," says Joe. "Do you happen to own a doghouse?"

"No," says the man.

"Oh, so you're one of those homos, huh?"
