Popular Belief Proven True

Dallas, Texas – Scientists working for the Texas Institute of Behavioral Studies (TIBS) have concluded that a belief, widely held among many males and widely disregarded by most females, is in fact true.  All good-looking men are homosexuals.

         The head of TIBS, Dr. William Roberts, stated that he decided to commission the study after attending the movie Spy Game with his wife Betty.  Said Roberts, “I told Betty that Brad Pitt and Robert Redford (the stars of Spy Game) both seemed gay and she said that I thought all good-looking men were gay.  It was then that I realized that she might be on to something.”

         According to Roberts, the study required two months and many hundreds of dollars to complete.  On eight consecutive Saturdays, questionnaires were distributed to patrons of Bubba Joe’s Bar.   The patrons were shown pictures of various men and asked to decide whether the pictured men were homosexual or heterosexual.  In all cases, the good-looking men were identified as homosexual, thus proving the assertion that all good-looking men are gay.

         Roberts cautioned that this does not mean that all ugly men are heterosexual.  He cited Truman Capote and Elton John as counter-examples.
