>>14814171As an example my dad was watching basketball and he said "I'm watching the Miami hurricanes" (name of the team). So I asked "do half of them have male names and half of them have female names?" . The connection I made was between the name of the sports team and actual hurricanes. I jokingly asked if the players of the sports team had a property of actual hurricanes (In the US one hurricane is named after a male and the next after a female). It would also be possible for that to be true because both hurricanes and basket ball players have names.
So basically what I did was make an inference for humorous effect
1. The name of the basketball team is the hurricanes.
2 Hurricanes and basket ball players have names (They share a common property)
3. 50% of Actual hurricanes have male names and 50% of actual hurricanes have female names.
4. Therefore 50% of the basket ball players should have male names and 50% should have female names.
If you can get good at making obviously faulty (but still possible) inferences then that can be used for humerus effect. It should also go against the implied meaning of something if there is one. For instance it would not have been funny to ask if they were strong and fast, or if they were wild. Since those are things the people want you to think of by evoking the image of hurricanes in a basket ball team.
