That's hilarious.

Here's one that is not as funny, and some may not appreciate as much as I, but I thought it was a razor sharp answer. I do labor statistics, and was once working with another consultant on a wage comparison arbitration. Dr. Ott (my colleague) was on the stand, and opposing counsel asked him "Dr. Ott, in your professional opinion, can statistics lie?

Dr. Ott stared at the ceiling for a moment in a manner that seemed as though he had never considered this question before and wanted to make sure he gave a fully accurate answer. His answer was "No."

And he was right. Researchers lie, and data can be inaccurate or misinterpreted, but statistics do not lie.
