Yoo hoo Mr martym, thank you for posting that link as I did so enjoy it, but unlike you I found it more interesting to see that other cultures are equally well adapt at disparaging humour of the expense of their ethnic targets variety.
And here was I thinking that it was just Derek my M10 love, who was gross for that type of humour, amongst those I hear humour from.

That kind of link gets me to thinking, but here is an example of why it isn't always good to come to what appears to be a logical conclusion.

Vocation.

So there's three climbing mates sitting at the Bluies Mt Vic bar one night, all chatting about life
when a bloke in a suit walks in sits down and orders a scotch.
After a bit of debate between the three mates as to what the bloke in the suit
does for a living, the sport-climbing one of them decides to go and ask him.
So he strolls over sits down and says, “Hey there mate, we don't get many blokes
in here wearing suits, would you mind me asking what you do for a crust?”
“I'm a Logical Scientist”, says the suit bloke.
“I’ve never heard of one of those, what does a Logical Scientist do?”
“Well I'll give you an example, Do you own a goldfish?”
“Yes I do.”
“From that it's logical to assume you keep it in a bowl or a pond.”
“I keep mine in a pond”, he says.
“Ok from that it's logical to assume you live in a house with a yard.”
“Yep sure do.”
“From that it's logical to assume that you are married with a family.”
“Yep wife and four kids.”
“Ok so it's logical to assume you have a healthy sex life!”
“Yep three times a week, but you haven't answered my question, What is a Logical Scientist?”

The scientist says, “I asked you if you had a goldfish, and from that I deduced that you lived in a house with your wife and kids and you had a healthy sex life”.

The sport-climber goes back to his mates and tells them he is a Logical Scientist.
His bouldering mate asks what a Logical Scientist does.
“Righto I’ll give you an example, Do you own a goldfish?”
“No I don't own a goldfish.”

“Well you're a wanker.”
