That's a hard one to beat, El. Speaking of elephants, and you know they have thick hides, it seems to me that wearing make-up actually has such an effect on the skin, that it then gets women to put on even more. It's a vichyous cycle.
An experimental psychologist, after apologising for the small number of participants in his study, went on to discuss the findings as if they were ground-breaking.
At question time, a member of the audience asked, "how can you claim such significance when your N's don't justify your means?"
If I hadn't been asked to proofread my daughter's stats essays (a required subject when studying psychology), I wouldn't have got it either. N = number of subjects in any given study Mean = average (and there's a double pun there, it's also intend or explain).
A small subject pool can skew your results, too small and the results are meaningless. "9 out of 10 doctors recommend Chesterfields", the other one, and the 990 you didn't ask, recommend not smoking at all because it will kill you.
But a pun isn't the slightest bit funny when you have to explain it.
