>Fred : " He ain't no stockbroker ! A stockbroker wouldn't come in here ! "

>Fred : " 'Scuse me mate.............no offence meant but me and me mate

>Suit : " No offence taken. I'm a Logical Scientist by profession"

>Fred : "Oh yeah, what's that then ?"
>
>Suit : "I'll try to explain by example. Do you have a goldfish at home ?"
>
>Fred : "Well....erm...yeah, I do as it happens"
>
>Suit : " Well, it's logical to follow that you either keep it in a bowl or
>in a pond. Which is it ?"
>
>Fred : "It's in a pond"
>
>Suit : "Well then, it's reasonable to supose that you have a large garden
?"
>
>Fred : "As it happens, yes, I have got a big garden"
>
>Suit ; "Well then, it's logical to assume that, in this town, if you've got
>a large garden you must have a large house ?"
>
>Fred : "As it happens, I've got a five bedroom place....built it myself !"
>
>Suit : "Well, given that youi've built a five bedroom house, it's logical
to
>assume that you haven't built it for yourself and that you are quite
>probably married ?"
>
>Fred : "Yes, I am married. I live with my wife and three children"
>
>Suit : "Well then, it's logical to assume that you are sexually active with
>your wife on a regular basis ?"
>
>Fred : "Yep. Four nights a week, mate !"
>
>Suit : "Well then, it's logical to suggest that you do not masturbate very
>often ?"
>
>Fred : "Me ? Never !"
>
>Suit : "Well, there you are ! That's logical science at work !"
>
>Fred ; "How's that then ?"
>
>Suit : "Well, from finding out that you had a goldfish, I've told you about
>the size of garden you've got, the size of your house, your family and your
>sex life !"
>
>Fred : "I see. That's pretty impressive........thanks mate !"
>
>They both leave the toilet and Fred returns to his mate.
>
>Bill : "I see the suit was in there. Did you ask him what he does ?"
>
>Fred : "Yeah, he's a Logical Scientist"
>
>Bill : "What's that then ?"
>
>Fred : "I'll try to explain. Do you have a goldfish ?"
>
>Bill : "No"
>
>Fred : "Well then Bill, you're a wanker ! "
