Spurious Correlation

one has to admit having thoughts of spurious correlations with others (not necessarily of the opposite sex)... sorry, that didn't come out right

 

At one time there was a good correlation here in the U.S. when one could say that 50% of all married people were males ergo 50% of all divorcees were also males.

Try doing that nowadays for indeed, that stat would be spurious.

 

Ah yes. Those correlating factors might lead a grant for a study between the quantification versus qualification of interminable defecation.

 

Small country elementary school teacher: "Johnny, please define the word spurious."

Little Wrangler Johnny: "Spurious is when you spur hard trying to get a mule to move and you get angry."

Teacher: "You are confusing spurious with furious."

Johnny: " No, I'm not. Furious is what your mama is when you let all the barn cats in the house and they fur up the sofa."

 

This thread should be published in national newspapers.

 

Around here, we spell that "Noose-papers", in honor of a dear, departed member, IKE:
