LOL

🤔

not necessarily...

Not my original joke, just read it. I don't see a flaw, if that's what you're suggesting

😂

i understand that the premise is that person #3 established the preferences of #1 and 2 out-of-band (outside the scope of the joke). ie, "lets go get a beer"

but if that premise is false, he doesn't know either.

but if its true, why dont the others know?

It's important they are logicians, so they think very literally.

First guy could answer no if he did not want beer, as that would answer the question correctly. Since he says I don't know, it implies he does but is unsure of other two.

Etc

An Englishman, a Canadian and an American walk into a bar. How does this one pan out🤔?

Bartender asks: are you all gay?

Englishman: I don't know

Canadian: I don't know

American: Hell no, just these two

👏🏻

Ty Ty 🙇💐

Says the man from San Francisco 🌈 🥳😜.

Bartender asks: What well you have?

American: Weak piss.

Englishman: Warm piss.

Canadian: I'll have a beer.

🔥

I'll take a Tylenol, because I'm not autistic enough to get it 🤷‍♂️

Great to know more people here listen to Sean Carroll's Mindscape

Not where I saw it. A blog by Joel David Hampkins

Listened to mindscape a few times back in the day. Was good. Not sure why i stopped listening.

"I don't know" means "I want beer", otherwise they would have said "no" because if any one of them doesn't drink then the collective answer must be "no"

Nice succinct analysis. A simple "lol" would also have been acceptable, loller :)

hey

some of us need the analysis

lol
