They begin with a uniform distribution!

How do coaches stay even-keeled at the start of a season?
They begin with a uniform distribution!

Why did the statistics student download the chapter on continuous distributions from her eBook instead of just reading it on the class website?
Because for that chapter, her teacher said to use the pdf!

Come with me and we shall go
a place that only n has known
a kingdom distant and sublime
whose ruler is the greatest prime
a land where infinite sums can rest
and undergrads shall take no test
a place where every child you see
writes poems about the C.L.T.
where cdf's converge to one
and every day is filled with sun.
where we can jump time's famous hurdle
and watch Achilles beat the turtle
and every stat plucked from a tree
is, without proof, U.M.V.U.E.
where joy o'erflows the cornucopia
in this, the land of Asymptopia.
by W.J. Youden (1900 - 1971)

A statistics major was completely hung over the day of his final exam. It was a true/false test, so he decided to flip a coin for the answers. The statistics professor watched the student the entire two hours as he was flipping the coin ... writing the answer ... flipping the coin ... writing the answer. At the end of the two hours, everyone else had finished the exam and left the room except for that lone student. The professor walked over and said, "Listen, I see that you did not study for this statistics test, you didn't even look at the exam questions. If you are just flipping a coin for your answers, what in the world is taking you so long?"
Still flipping the coin, the student replied "Shhh! I am checking my answers!"
How many statisticians does it take to change a lightbulb?
1.96, normally.
