Comedy Caravan

"Hey! Remember that comedian who talked about his kid not hearing his profanity, other kids being made to order in restaurants when they can't talk, and being out-drunk by a woman?"

"Yeah...I kinda do."

"You know who I'm talking about, the guy with the red shirt, blue jeans and a hat."

"I thought he had a black shirt on."

"No, it was definitely red."

An so it continues: the greatest debate this semester. What color shirt was that comedian wearing? A quick survey shows the following results:

Red Shirt- 6
Black Shirt- 5
White Shirt- 2
Dark Blue- 2
Gray- 2
Don't Remember- 4

It is a heated debate. Robb attempted to provide more evidence by making a seating chart from that night and labeling who thinks black and who thinks red. He found that those who think that the shirt was black were in fact sitting together and closer to the stage. He claims that since they were closer to the stage, that they would know more so than others sitting farther away. I must say that it is an intersting piece of evidence but his efforts, however, are in vain for yesterday morning in class Cleaver taught us that correlation does not imply causality. Apparently Robb wasn't listening to that part of the lecture.

Those who went to comedy caravan and weren't molested last night by our "Phone Survey Team," feel free to respond.
