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.
Nope, talking about the joke in the post.
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.
