Thread: "Lies, Damn Lies, and than there are statistics"

So said Mark Twain, but here are some good stats, and they must be true, they were in the newspaper and posted on the Internet !
If you ain't got a wife, better get one soon, or keep what you've got. Half of the men DON'T shave daily.

The best stats of 2014 - The Washington Post

One of my favorite books is How to Lie with Statistics.

Ranks right up there with Practical Treatise on the Steel Square!

20% of statistics are made up

The most telling statistic in the list is the one from the Chinese government about 30 million bachelors by 2020 - I assume they have factored in two other variables:

- they will stop killing homosexuals.
- first born females will be allowed to survive.

I fell into the 9% that doesn't carry money. I buy gas & smokes that's it, now the Wife she always has money, my money LOL

Gas and smokes must take up about 91% of your money!
