My friends and I were just going over the classic syllogisms. We came up with:

Love is blind.  
God is love.  
Therefore, Ray Charles is God.

God lives on high.  
Denver is high.  
Therefore, Denver is heaven.

Nothing is better than paradise.  
A ham sandwhich is better than nothing.  
Therefore, paradise is a ham sandwhich.

This all came about when my friend Mary was accused of being a liar, and I responded with:

But Mary is beautiful.  
And truth is beauty, and beauty is truth.  
Therefore, Mary cannot lie.

I scored some smoothie points for that one.

Any others?

A lot of bulls crap in Texas.  
Bush is from Texas.  
Therefore, there’s a lot of Texas bullshit going on in Washington DC.

Should be “Nothing is better than paradise, and a ham sandwich is better than nothing, so a ham sandwich is better than paradise.”

Hard work is good for you.  
Stealing refrigerators is hard work.  
Therefore, stealing refrigerators is good for you.
