So, I'm teaching logic this semester. It just began in Germany, so we are still at the beginning, talking about valid and sound arguments (e.g. "Every man is mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal). To spice up my teachings, I always use funny examples (e.g. "Every Kokiri has a fairy. Link is a Kokiri. etc.). Normally, people really do laugh. However, this time, nobody understood the following argument's joke:
Everyone who runs into a hospital, seeking and finding his wife, is lost
Tim runs into a hospital and seeks his wife
Therefore, Tim is lost.
Apparently, no one in this thread goes to my Logic class. Shame
