Day 2(mumblemumble): Statistics just got interesting

I bought my Statistics textbook used on Amazon.com a few weeks ago. It was in really good shape, included the CD-Rom and was still reasonably priced. So I was happy.

The other day I found a slip of paper in my book with a URL written on it. I forgot about it until today, when it fell out of my book again. When I went to the URL, I discovered the website of a film director who calls himself "Buttman". I started wondering how "Buttman" might use statistics in his line of work. Would he use a runs plot to graph the incidence of skankiness amongst a sample of hoes? Or perhaps he could employ Chebyshev's theorem to find out the average amount of money that is spent on videos of skanky hoes by the middle 60% of his viewership.

The world may never know...

You statisticians are all a bunch of pervs. Exposing my virgin ears to this filth! For shame.

Why did it have to be statistics? I already explained to you that I got a C- in statistics probably in part because I didn't actually open the book until a week before the final. This means that my ability to come up with a dirty joke relating to it is severely hampered.

Um... the standard deviation of ass is... um... more ass. Median of ass? Okay, I'm out.

Central tendencies of ass are, in general, quite foul and smelly indeed!
