Read my thesis! (If you have a spare hour or two.)

 

In a work of this size--79 pages--there are no doubt typographical and other errors that I missed, even after multiple proofreadings.  If you even think of pointing one out, I will tear out your innards and burn them in front of you.

Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."  -- Autobiography of Mark Twain

 

[I always thought that was just Twain.  That it's Benjamin Disraeli makes me like it even better.]

 

Or...

 

"Statistics are like bikinis.  What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital."  --Aaron Levenstein
