I see nobody can fool William Briggs — he of the mathematic subtlety. And the wit: “You can’t trust 95% of statisticians.” I’d quip that that was funny the first ten million times I heard it — but then I’d be doing the same thing he is, wouldn’t I?

Fresh Air is diverting, too: “BTW, when I was in school, binge drinking (five or more beers in one sitting) is what we had during the first 90 minutes of Friday happy hour.” Keep boasting, white man.

And I notice that Fresh Air can compete with Mr. Kimball himself, in the art of droll insult. (“Oh dear! Has Steven Chapman been let out to use a keyboard again?”) That’s how we fight the culture war, isn’t it?

Death penalty for drunk driving, anyone? Oops — there I go. Spoiling the party.
