Cars have windows. Houses have windows. So it can’t be windows that makes the car go.

I swear I don’t understand, and he tried to explain it to me. He said it’s a double meaning with Windows the operating system but I just don’t don’t don’t get it.

Can anyone make this understandable to me? I may have screwed up the retelling, because honestly I have no idea what the hell’s going on with this joke.

    I’d say the joke is probably that you are logically deducting something thats already obvious to everyone, portraying logicians as people that are far removed from reality

      *deducing, not deducting. Also, you seem to be talking about the joke from the comments. And the joke from the comments makes fun of the man misapplying logic rather than making fun of the logician.

          It’s just misapplied logic. No ivory-tower logicians in sight anywhere to make fun of.

          You could maybe use that joke in such a way, if you actually had a logician in front of you whom you’d want to piss off.
