Look at the Logic

Can you exaggerate the logic?

“A friend of mine got knocked down by a mobile library. He was lying in the road screaming and the driver got out and said, ‘Shh!’

Peter Kay

Can you give wrong reasons as to why something is like it is or happened the way it did for comic effect?

“I told the Inland Revenue I don’t owe them a penny. I live by the seaside.”

Ken Dodd

“Avoid employing unlucky people–throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them.”

Ricky Gervais

Can you take an accepted fact and draw a false conclusion from it?

“Remember, if you don’t sin, then Jesus died for nothing.”

Ricky Gervais

“If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?”

Peter Kay

Reversal of cause and effect: Can you make the effect to be the cause?

“Avoid employing unlucky people–throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them.”

Ricky Gervais

“If Jesus was a Jew, how come he has a Mexican first name?”

Billy Connolly

Can you take the logic and think of the opposite of it?

“It turns out that if you bang two halves of a horse together, it doesn’t make the sound of a coconut.”

Ken Dodd

Correlation is not causation, but maybe it is?

“My greatest hero is Nelson Mandela. What a man. Incarcerated for 25 years, he was released in 1990 and he hasn’t reoffended. I think he’s going straight, which shows you prison does work.”

Ricky Gervais

“I used to think I was marvellous in bed–until I discovered all my girlfriends suffered from asthma.”
