1. Most Americans own their own homes. How do I know? Everyone I know owns their home. 2. Taking drugs can impair your thinking. Joe is on drugs, because he takes aspirin every day and aspirin is a drug. So, Joe probably has impaired thinking. 3. People who are high are usually not at their sharpest. If you are not at your sharpest, you shouldn't be climbing mountains. When people climb mountains, they get to a very high altitude. If you are at a high altitude, then by definition you are high. So nobody should climb mountains. 4. Driver to officer: You should let me go without a ticket, because my pet cockroach just died and he was my best friend and I am devastated. 5. Either the economy should be completely free and unregulated, or we should have central planning and government control over every aspect of the economy. But the latter would be intolerable. So, the economy should be free and unregulated. 6. Each individual part of my car weighs less than twenty pounds. So, my car weighs less than twenty pounds. 7. Teenagers earn less, on average, than people in their thirties. Rita is nineteen, Joe is thirty-five. Therefore, Joe earns more than Rita. 8. Rita is a meter maid. Rita is lovely. Probably all meter maids are lovely. 9. In 1965, the average age of the members of the Beatles was twenty-three. Therefore, the Beatles were formed in 1942. 10. Senator Jones says that the threat of terrorism has diminished. But how can you believe what he says? He's been divorced five times. Sheesh.
