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_munchkins 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!"

That IS funny. Now I have to run and get bleach, but first I need to make sure my hose is rolled up after I clean the blue paint chips out from under my nails. TaTa

Excellence in posting - "Thanks, Mom!" BTW were you the one, lo those many painful threads ago, that posted the story about the missing chickens, the visit to the fox lair, and the "Nudie Chicken Porn"? Hilarious and trenchant stuff. FRegards
