MOM'S SECRET ROOM

[ONEBGG]

Did you hear about:
the four statisticians who were caught in a boating shop tossing packages of canvas around? It turned out they were just fore-casting sales.

the statistician who went out on a limb to obtain a nested design?

the statistician who attempted the distribution of joints but was arrested by the vice squad?

the statistician who was looking all over for the sum of eigenvalues from a variance- covariance matrix but couldn't find a trace?

the nonparametrician who couln't get his driving license? He could't pass the sign test.

the two binomial random variables who talked very quietly because they were discrete?

the ancient roman statistician who was always called a nerd? Turns out he was just a Latin Square.

The father and son station wagon? Talk about a case of auto-correlation!

the nine-foot tall roman numeral who took over Congress and outlawed decimals? It was just a case of the strong law of large numbers.
