This is another oxymoron. 
Do you remember the case whereby the group of prc nationals wanted to bring a wheelchair up a bus and argued for 6 hours that they should be able to do so? I don't know what logical arguments they made, but if you think about it, the very fact that they argued for 6 hours is absurd. Isn't the purpose of taking the bus to go someone within a cetain period of time? Did they even make it to their destination that day? Did they keep another party waiting for 6 hours? It's hilarious. (not for the driver and the other passengers though)
This reminds me of the few times I had to listen to absurd logic from people, particularly prc nationals. To be fair, there are other nationalities who exhibit absurd logic as well, but as there are more than a billion of them, perhaps it happens among them more often. Can you think of the times where you had to hear them argue until the cows come home without any logical basis, especially in the work environment? Rookie managers would let them go on. Experienced managers would cut them short somehow.
Speaking of cows, let me tell a story.
There was once this chap (let's say he was a prc national for logical argument's sake) who wanted to drink milk.
He went to the nearby supermarket, which was out of his favourite brand. He said to himself that he had to have his favourite brand.
The next nearest supermarket was 2 bus-stops away, and he would have to pay 50 cents to get there.
Deciding not to spend the 50 cents, he went to the nearby seven-eleven. His favourite brand was available, but unfortunately, it was 40 cents more expensive.
He was pissed to say the least.
To save the 40 cents, he decided to go to the farm near his house which reared a cow to get some milk. However, the cow just could not be milked at that time.
Feeling frustrated, he decided to steal the cow and milk her at his lesiure.
The next morining, he was delighted that he was able to milk the cow and get a glass of milk. Unfortunately, the police turned up at his door within minutes of him finishing the milk, and he was arrested, charged and brought before a judge for stealing a cow. He was sadly sentenced to 1 months' jail and fined $100.
When the judge asked him how he felt about his sentencing, he replied that he was glad to have saved 50 cents. (Actually he should have said that he was glad to have saved 40 cents, but even the absurd logic lacks logic)
