Two builders (Chas and Dave) are seated either side of a table in a
   rough pub when a well-dressed man enters, orders a beer and sits on a stool
   at the bar. The two builders start to speculate about the occupation of 
   the suit.
   Chas: -I reckon he's an accountant.
   Dave: -No way he's a stockbroker.
   Chas: -He ain't no stockbroker! A stockbroker wouldn't come in here!
   The argument repeats itself for some time until the volume of beer
   gets the better of Chas and he makes for the toilet. On entering the 
   toilet he sees that the suit is standing at a urinal.  
   Curiosity and the several beers
   get the better of the builder...
  
   Chas: -Scuse me.... no offence meant, but me and me mate were
   wondering
   what you do for a living?
   Suit: -No offence taken! I'm a Logical Scientist by profession!
   Chas: -Oh! What's that then?
   Suit: -I'll try to explain by example...Do you have a goldfish at
   home?
   Chas: -Er...mmm... well yeah, I do as it happens!
   Suit: -Well, it's logical to follow that you keep it in a bowl or in a
   pond.  Which is it?
   Chas: -It's in a pond!
   Suit: -Well then it's reasonable to suppose that you have a large
   garden then?
   Chas: -As it happens, yes I have got a big garden!
   Suit: -Well then it's logical to assume that in this town that if you
   have  a large garden that you have a large house?
   Chas: -As it happens I've got a five bedroom house...  built it
   myself!
   Suit: -Well given that you've built a five bedroom house it is logical
   to assume that you haven't built it just for yourself and that you are
   quite
   probably married?
   Chas: -Yes I am married, I live with my wife and three children!
   Suit: -Well then it is logical to assume that you are sexually active
   with your wife on a regular basis?
   Chas: -Yep! Four nights a week!
   Suit: -Well then it is logical to suggest that you do not masturbate
   very often?
   Chas: -Me? Never
   Suit: -Well there you are! That's logical science at work!
   Chas: -How's that then?
   Suit: -Well from finding out that you had a goldfish, I've told you
   about
   the size of garden you have, the size of house, your family and your
   sex life!
   Chas: -I see! That's pretty impressive... thanks mate!
   Both leave the toilet and Chas returns to his mate.
   Dave: -I see the suit was in there. Did you ask him what he does?
   Chas: -Yep ! He's a logical scientist!
   Dave: -What's that then?
   Chas: -I'll try and explain. Do you have a goldfish?
   Dave: -Nope
   Chas: -Well then, you're a wanker
