British Army is Gay

Can I be gay in the army? Still from a British Army recruitment campaign

Sometimes one tiny fact opens up a whole world of knowledge:

Two rednecks, Bubba and Cooter, decide to go to college. Bubba goes first, and he is advised to take maths, history and logic.

- "What's logic?" says Bubba.

- "Well, let me give you an example," says the professor. "Do you own a tractor?"

- "Why, yes" says Bubba.

- "Okay. Then I assume, using logic, that you have a farm."

- "That's real good," says Bubba, in awe.

- "Logic also tells me that since you have a farm, you also have a house. Is that right?"

- "Gawly!” says Bubba.

- "And since you own a house and a house is tough to take care of by yourself, the odds are that you have a wife. Right?"

- "Betty Mae! This is incredible!"

- "Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume you are heterosexual. Is that right?"

- "You are absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thang I ever  heerd of. I can't wait to take this here logic class!"

Bubba, proud of the new world opening up to him, goes back into the hallway where Cooter is waiting.

- "So what classes are ya takin’?" says Cooter.

- "Maths, history and logic," says Bubba.

- "What in tarnation is logic?"

- "Let me give you an example," says Bubba. "Do you own a tractor?"

- "No."

- "Then you’re gay."

Another example of deducing a lot from a little came in some news this  week about the British Army. Apparently, there was a controversy over whether to use the the word "Sir" or "Ma' am" when speaking over the phone. The conclusion they've come to is that it would be inadvisable to continue the practice as there is no way of knowing for sure the gender identity of the person you are speaking to.

Logical deduction:

The British Army is gay.
