I'm just a Bill

Well, i fell i should let everyone know that i've decided not to go on the Santorum trip to ensure that i am fully recovered for the wedding. Instead, i will be here at AU making phone calls and other tasks for Santorum. Its kinda sad, but i do have a long stay at AU so i'll do something like that another time. I thought i should let everyone know that i hav officially given up on math and science. This next story will probably be hilarious and i'll get plenty of comments, but it needs to be told. I took my first Statistics exam the other day and i'm working through it and i come to question about the certain percentage of jumps. It is really just making sure i can interpret a histogram chart, but it asked what percent of the jumps were at least 85 inches. Well, there were 100 total jumps, and i calculated that between 70 and 75 there were 10 jumps, between 75 and 80 there were 40 jumps, and between 80 and 84.99999 there were 15 jumps. That was 65 out of 100, so i go to circle the answer and it isn't there! I'm tired and annoyed so i got the professor and raise my voice to him "the answer isn't there, i've done all my calculations perfectly!" He says go look at the chart. I say look, here are the jumps, the first 10 jumps were between 70 and 75 and ""70 is at least 85"" Wow, i couldn't believe i said that, it was very embarrasing, so i circled 35 percent turned in my exam and left. i'm now career politcs! Anyway i know everyone likes the pics, so i'll keep them coming, here's one at dinner!

That kind of analysis will come in very handy when reviewing polls from your constituency (especially if you don't like what they are really saying)
