Statisticians...

An engineer, mathematician, and a statistician are out hunting with bows and arrows in the woods when they spot a deer. Deciding that they don't want to scare the deer off by all attacking at once, they decide to take turns.
The mathematician goes first; he estimates the distance and the velocity of the arrow, fires at the correct angle, and falls short by 10 feet because of air resistance and mass. Then the engineer; he considers the wind resistance, mass of the arrow, movement of the target, and fires the arrow, but lands 10 feet too far because of an incorrect calculation.
The statistician, ecstatic, jumps in the air and exclaims "WE GOT 'IM!"

Re: Statisticians...

two old thoughts come to mind regarding "statistics"

Figures don't lie but liars can figure


Mark Twain is alleged to have said,
"There are three kinds of lies:
1. lies
2. d..n lies
3. statistics
