Statistically, 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape.

An oldie:
Statistics are like bikinis; what they reveal is interesting; what they conceal is vital.

A real one.
Over 50% of the UK population do not know what an average is. Only 1% can accurately define the difference between mean, median and Mode.

70.71 per cent can't define rms and 69.3 per cent don't understand half-life.

Genuine quote from a Labour Councillor
"There can't be 86% agreement; there's only 7 of them."

He might have had a point actually, even if he didn't know he had - if there's only 7 respndents then saying "86% agreement" rather than "6 out of 7 agree" is rather hiding the fact that the sample might be too small to be meaningful.
Councillors are faced with consultation responses like this all the time; when the results are meaningless, as 6 out of 7 might be (depending on the circumstances) then they have to make their own minds up. My thinking might go something along the lines of "if only seven people can be arsed to respond to the consultation, that means that nobody much cares about this project, so how's about we spend the money somewhere else instead where people
do care?" There's
always a list of other things you could spend the money on.

Gertrude. It wasn't a consultation, it was a recommendation from one of their own committees. And this wasn't the only 'If I don't understand it, then you're all wrong' comment from said councillor that day

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't

Universal Truth
On the long average, One omnipotent
Universal Deity will work more than twice as well as would Two.
