Statistics and Computer Models

An engineer, a physicist, and a statistician were moose hunting in northern Canada. After a short walk through the marshes they spotted a HUGE moose 150 yards away.

The engineer raised his gun and fired at the moose. A puff of dust showed that the bullet landed 3 yards to the right of the moose.

The physicist, realizing that there was a substantial breeze that the engineer did not account for, adjusted his aim accordingly and took his shot. The bullet landed 3 yards to the left of the moose.

The statistician jumped up and down screaming, "We got him! We got him!"
