Found and copied from http://www.sondrakistan.com/. There is a good list, check it out.
A physicist, an engineer, and a statistician are out hunting. The physicist calculates the trajectory using ballistic equations, but assumes no air resistance, so his shot falls 5 meters short. The engineer adds a fudge factor for air resistance, and his shot lands 5 meters long.
The statistician yells, "We got him!"
The physicist would add a parameter.
The engineer would adjust his fudge factor.
The statitician would wait for the results.
Statiticians are like accountants; they count what other people do.
