For his final project in a statistics
class, a student decided to conduct a survey. So it wouldn't be a boring
project, he chose to find out peoples' favourite pastimes.
The teacher required that he sample at
least 100 people, so he started out his project visiting a fairly large
apartment building near the university. He knocked on the first door and
a man answered.
"Sir, what is your name?" asked the student.
"John."
"Sir, I'm doing a school study and would
like to know what is your favourite pastime?"
"Watching bubbles in bath," was the reply.
He liked the esoteric answer and continued
down the hall, until he came to the next door, when he asked again.
"Sir, what is your name?"
"Jeff."
"Sir, Would you please tell me your favourite
pastime?"
"Watching bubbles in bath," was the reply.
Quite amused and confused, he went on to
ask a good number of people in the building, and all of them had the same
pastime "watching bubbles in bath." He left the building and walked across
the street where there were several row houses, to continue the survey.
At the first house, he knocked and an
attractive college girl opened the door.
Our surveyor began again, "What is your
name?"
"Bubbles."
