In the Washington Post on Sundays there is
something called the Style Invitational, which is a contest
for readers. The topic varies each week, and the August 8th
(1033) contest (winners announced September 8th,
2013) involved limericks that feature words that start with
‘fa’. Knowing how most statisticians feel about spreadsheets,
I thought you might appreciate the winner, from Matt Monitto
in Elon, N.C.
“A physicist/humorist, Nell,
Had a comedy show where she’d tell
Of her spreadsheeting gaffes-
It drew thousands of laughs
Because farce equals math time
Excel.”
