Does anyone have a good idea for a funny statistical t-shirt ?
The ASA has a "got data" shirt but I'm looking for something
different.

Thanks!

The one that says

has a nice ring. You could trying
working something up from

In the beginning was Data
And the Data brought forth understanding

and so on and so on. But it needs work.

"normally distributed"

On the shirt front: "probably"; on the back: "not".

Well, there are the obligatory "Statisticians do it..." shirts:

"Statisticians do it with confidence."

"Statisticians do it hypergeometrically (because it's discrete)."

"Statisticians do it in intervals."

This reference might be a little too old for anyone under the age of 25,
but how about:

"I'm not leptokurtic, I'm just drawn that way." (Accompanied by a
Jessica Rabbit-type cartoon of a tall skinny person with a big backside.)

Since kurtosis sounds a bit like a disease or a mental condition:

"Kurtosis makes me deviant."

"Kurtosis is preventable. Transform your data today!"

"Kurtosis makes my response surface peak."

And for those who enjoy, er, smoking:

"Statisticians never miss a joint distribution."
