Seventy-seven percent of home-buyers start their home search on the internet. Except, sixty-nine percent of Americans think the internet is a pain in the ass. What’s the real truth? I like to say that forty-seven percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. It’s not true, but, unlike all the other dubious statistical “news”, it’s funny.

3 statisticians go elephant hunting with one gun between them. They see an elephant.
The first one grabs the gun, aims, fires & misses; about 2 feet to the left of the elephant.
The second one grabs the gun, aims, fires & misses; about 2 feet to the right of the elephant.
The 3rd statistician screams: “GOT HIM!”
