If you've never taken a stats course you probably won't find this cartoon as funny as I did...but I laughed very hard when I saw it this morning.

For the people who took a statistics class and understand this joke, I want you to understand how I feel...so I'm going to tell you one that journalism students will find interesting but others will yawn about. A typesetter said his girl's name should be "Sans Serif" because she's a "clear cut type." For the non-journalists, the word sans is French for "without" and "serifs" are the little doo-dads on typefaces that give the letters character. For instance, Arial is a sans serif type while Times Roman is a serif type. I can hear the laughter now.
SNNOOOORRREEE!!!! GROMPFFF!!! Oh excuse me, did I fall asleep. I loved statistics. My final project was a study on the rock, scissors, paper game. I did a chi-square distribution to see if any of the choices were better than the others.... Turns out they aren't. In any game, they each have about equal probability of winning or losing. Ok, someone go wake up the journalists. The cartoon was funny.
