Hey Oracle Say it aint so: Johnny V winless for 5 days!!!

[Gander]

He said just burn you (not your loved ones) and believe me I wasnt laughing at the thought of you being physically harmed, I was laughing at Oracle in general, we've known each other many years. Lighten up, this is the internet. You can say what you want about Oracle and me but please dont make light of the terrorist situation in our great country. If you think its such a joke you shouldnt be living here. Peace.

I will answer this here because you put it in a civil way. I dont make light of the "terrrorist situation". It is a worldwide problem. I was making a serious point in the middle of what i said to the oral guy. IT IS the attitude of people like the oral guy that do our country the most harm. I am not making light of it. I lost a dear friend in 9/11 (i live 20 minutes from the pentagon and have done business with the government for years). Im sorry that you misunderstood my post.

You tell me to lighten up...but yet your little friend is making the threats to me and others. Why dont you tell HIM to lighten up? He/she is the one that has made this thread hostile. The only thing this thread was about was he/she being wrong about a dumb statement. Thats all. Now its about 9/11?

Now you can go tell and have this thread removed. Peace.

Okay. Thats that. And I owe you a thanks for not ridiculing me severely when my favorite baseball team layed down and lost 5 straight to the Yankees last weekend. Was waiting for everybody to rip me on that!

Ahhhh the misuse of statistics to prove or disprove a point. Just like on TV with every sport I have seen, from baseball to horses. Amazing.

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!"

Cool. I will take the libery of using that. The fallacy of averages.

I leave for a weekend and I miss all the good stuff. This is one of the most entertaining threads I have ever read.
