The Flawless Logic of Owning a Goldfish

Two builders were sitting at a pub after a hard day’s work when a sharply dressed man walked in. The two immediately began debating what the man did for a living—one guessed an accountant, the other a stockbroker.

Eventually, the first builder went to the restroom and saw the dapper gentleman standing at the urinal. Unable to resist, he asked, “Excuse me, mate, but my buddy and I have a bet. What do you do for a living?”

The man smiled. “I’m a logical scientist.”

“A what?” the builder asked, scratching his head.

“Let me demonstrate,” the man said. “Do you have a goldfish at home?”

“As a matter of fact, I do.”

“Well,” the man continued, “logically, if you have a goldfish, you keep it in a pond. If you have a pond, you have a large garden. A large garden means you have a big house, which suggests you are married with children. And a healthy marriage means you have a great sex life, meaning you don’t need to masturbate. See? Logical science.”

The builder was profoundly impressed. He rushed back to the bar, and his buddy asked, “Well? Did you find out what he does?”

“Yeah, he’s a logical scientist!” the first builder beamed.

“What the hell is that?”

“Let me explain,” the builder said proudly. “Do you have a goldfish at home?”

“No,” his buddy replied.

The first builder shook his head in disappointment and said:

“Well, then you’re a wanker!”
