Statistical Jokes 1


Here are a few statistical jokes that I ran across and that I couldn't help but collecting. 

1) A statistician is someone who loves to work with numbers but doesn't have the personality to be an accountant. 
2) How many statisticians does it take to change a light bulb? 1-3, alpha = .05 
3) There is no truth to the allegation that statisticians are mean. They are just your standard normal deviates. 
4) Why don't statisticians like to model new clothes? Lack of fit. 
5) Never show a bar chart at an AA meeting. 
6) The last few available graves in a cemetery are called residual plots. 
7) Old statisticians never die, they just undergo a transformation. 
8) How do you tell one bathroom full of statisticians from another? Check the p-value. 
9) Did you hear about the statistician who made a career change and became a surgeon specializing in ob/gyn? His specialty was histerectograms. 
10) Some statisticians don't drink because they are t-test totalers. Others drink the hard stuff as evidenced by the proliferation of box-and-whiskey plots.
