He cried during the movie. Therefore he is a big softie.11. If I wear that cologne then women will love me. I bought that cologne, so women are going to love me.12. No snakes are mammals. No mammals are birds. Therefore no snakes are birds.13. Every dog with brown fur hates cats. Some dogs have red fur. Therefore some dogs love cats.14. To fix your care you will need money.

Mike loves pickles. Pickles come from cucumbers. Therefore Mike loves cucumbers.17. If you don’t do your chores then you can’t have any dessert. You really like dessert, so you will certainly do your chores.18. You can have soup or salad. You are having the salad, so you won’t be having any soup.19.

If he yells at you then you will be hurt and it will damage your friendship. Therefore you shouldn’t talk to Mike about politics.31. Either the maid or the butler did it. For the butler to have done it he would have had to have been at the mansion yesterday. The butler was away all day yesterday. So the maid did it.32.
