Ruler of the Statistics Class

During statistics class this morning, two young ladies began screaming and abruptly scooted away from their desks. The teacher, dressed in the white science lab coat that has become part of his standard work attire, paused for a moment and asked what the problem was. The problem was a six-legged critter.

Meter stick in hand, the teacher calmly walked over to the vacated desk. With a single whack, the cockroach became a statistic.

Sounds like the teacher didn't appreciate the spy.

Teachers still carry rulers?!?! AND say "young lady"?! Is this a one room schoolhouse?

I hear that Statistics class really bugs some people.

Strangely enough, when I posted this, I thought about my prior statistics post, but I’m not sure I recalled the previous post about spies.

Ha! That was the first thing of which I thought.
