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," replied the man. "Sir, I'm doing
a
school study and would like to know what is your favourite pastime
?"
"Watching bubbles in the bath," Came 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," said the second man. "Sir, Would you please tell me
your
favourite pastime ?" "Watching bubbles in the bath," was the
answer.
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
the 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
knocks and an attractive college girl opens the door. Our
surveyor
starts again - "What is your name?"
"Bubbles!"
