Consider the assertion,

	The prince of France is bald.

From this assertion, we can logically conclude any of
three consequents:

	The prince of France is heir apparent to the throne.

	The prince of France has no hair apparent.

	The prince of France has made a monkey out of his father
	(e.g. the king of France is a hairy parent.)

Clear?
