Mark Twain said there were three kinds of lies, "Lies, damn lies and statistics."
Which leads me to my one math joke:
A doctor, a lawyer and a statistician go hunting with bows and arrows. They spot a big 8-point buck.
The doctor shoots and the arrow goes 30 feet to the right.
The lawyer shoots, and the arrow goes 30 feet to the left.
The statistician shouts, "We got him!"
