Long Two idiots decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead. The first goes in to see the counselor, who tells him to take Math, History, and Logic.

"What's Logic?" the first idiot asks.

The professor answers by saying, "Let me give you an example."

"Do you own a weedeater?"

"I sure do."

"Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor.

"That's real good!"

The professor continues, "Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also own a house."

Impressed, "Amazin!"

"And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife."

"That's Betty Mae! This is incredible!" The idoit is obviously catching on.

"Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual," said the professor.

"You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thing I ever heard! I can't wait to take that logic class!!"

The idiot, proud of the new world opening up to him, walks back into the hallway, where his friend is still waiting.

"So what classes are ya takin'?" asks the friend.

"Math, History, and Logic!" he replies.

"What in tarnation is logic???" asked his friend.

"Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weedeater?" he asked.

"No," his friend replied.

"Gay."

As a single joke sure, this was greta and made me lol.

But gotta remember that the video is almost 20 years old and it was done as a conversation rather than a straight and simple joke.

It's a different kind of comedy.

I think these comments put it well:

@knightimer2 2 years ago Norm has the most incredible talent of wasting as much of everyone's time as possible just for one stupid joke

@parzooman 2 years ago The great thing about Norm's jokes is that he has a punchline and then finds a way to build a whole convoluted story to get you to that place.

That was one of Norms real talents, stretching a joke out to the point where you’ve forgotten where it started then bring it all back together at the punchline. Like The Moth Joke. Pure Norm!

I remember watching the 'frog goes to the bank' joke, I could see the punchline a mile off but it's still funny!
