Old Armenian joke.

*roughly translated, please excuse any incoherence*


A scholarly looking man is strolling around with a book under his arm and is noticed by a stranger. The stranger (who is a musician) is curious about the book and approaches the man.

"What is that book you have there?"

"This is a philosophical book, it has taught me many things"

"Well, what have you learned from this book?"

*the man, noticing the stranger's dragging a violin case*

"For example, do you play the violin?"

The stranger replies "Yes"

"Well then, you must like music"

"Yes"

"Which means you also like clubs"

"Yes, i do"

"Well, when you go to a club, you drink"

"That's correct"

"And when you drink, you enjoy dancing with pretty girls"

"Why yes!"

"So it follows that you are certainly not gay"

"Wow! That's amazing! I'd love to buy that book from you. Name your price!"

So they negotiate terms and the man sells the book to the stranger. So the stranger begins strolling around with the book under his arms. One day he's approached by another. Curiously, he asks "What is that book you're strolling around with?"

"This a philosophical book, it has many things to teach"

"Well, tell me, what have you learned from this book?"

*the man with the book thinks for a moment*

"Do you play the violin?"

"No, I don't"

"Well then you must be gay"
