This comes from a daily email I get from www.wordsmith.org. It's a 'word a day'.... definition, etiology, and usage. My favorite part is the quote and I have a list of favorites. This one came today.

The quote was my motto when I worked, I am a Statistician, basically you tell me what you want to say and I can make the figures agree!!!!
