A little statistical humor before I break

I was looking at some numbers earlier in the day and they reminded me of this old story.

It seems there are three statisticians who go hunting. The first aims at the bear and misses widely to the right. The second aims and misses widely to left. The third one jumps up and down and yells "we got him!".

People often say numbers don't lie. That's not true, numbers lie all the time.
