Isn't that implication arrow backwards?

"P follows from Q" is P ⇐ Q

Maybe that's the joke, though.

EDIT: The text says "P follows Q", which my brain apparently corrected to "P follows from Q". These are not the same, and I'd argue that "P follows Q" is problematic as a phrase as a result. Grumble grumble.

The jokes based on formal logic trend as of late go something like "The fact that there is a tuna fish implies the existence of a threena fish". And most of them are simply horribly tragic.

The fact that there are jokes based on formal logic that are simply horribly tragic implies the existence of jokes based on againstmal illogic that are complexly delightfully pleasant.

Am I doing this right?
