Hey, get a load of this, which was given to me by an anonymous source to post here.

"Let me tell you a story. I was so impressed by VRWC_munchkin’s logic that I tried to put it to use in my home life.

My wife told me she went grocery shopping. I asked her what she bought. She said Eggs, Milk, Butter, and Cheese. I immediately realized how fishy her story sounded. I computed the odds. I know she buys milk once every other trip, eggs once every 3 trips, butter once every 5 trips, and cheese once in 10 trips. So the probability that she bought Eggs, Milk, Butter, and Cheese all at the same time is (1/2)(1/3)(1/5)(1/10)=0.0033, or a 0.33% chance! Therefore, there is a 99.67% chance that she was lying!

When confronted with this indisputable fact she actually had the audacity to get mad at ME and call ME stupid! I mean, I have a Ph.D. in this kind of stuff, it is how I make my living!"
