assumptions vs. deductions

I am buying a box of tampons.

Deduction: I am a woman and I get my period, and am low on tampons regardless of whether I have my period now.

Assumption: I have my period now.

Interesting assumption: I have my period now, so I must be in a [female dog]-y mood.


My husband is buying a box of tampons.

Deduction: a female in his life has asked him to pick up tampons.

Assumption: his wife made him add tampons to the list.

Interesting assumption: he's really a transvestite woman and is on the rag.
