Three men are in a hot-air balloon. Soon, they find themselves lost in a canyon somewhere. One of the three men says, "I've got
an idea. We can call for help in this canyon and the echo will carry our voices far." So he leans over the basket and yells out,
"Helllloooooo! Where are we?" (They hear the echo several times.)

Fifteen minutes pass. Then they hear this echoing voice " Helllloooooo! You're lost!!" One of the men says, "That must have
been a statistician." Puzzled, one of the other men asks, "Why do you say that?" The reply "For three reasons. (1) he took a long
time to answer, (2) he was absolutely correct, and (3) his answer was absolutely useless."

Did you hear about the statistician who had his head in an oven and his feet in a bucket of ice? When asked how he felt, he replied,
"On the average I feel just fine."

Did you know that if you torture the data long enough, that eventually it will confess?

Hey man, that's not a fun. That is why all statisticians are for.
