Default For those of you who love statistics.

A man gets arrested at an airport for trying to get a bomb onto a plane. When the authorities asked him what he was planning to do with the bomb, he replied, "I wanted to take it on the plane to make sure the flight was safe." The other men looked at him strangly and asked him what he meant. he explained that statistics showed that the odds of their being a bomb on a plane were pretty low, but the odds of there being two bombs on the same flight were even lower."

A friend of mine told me that today at work and i thought it was so funny because it made sense in some stupid kinda way.

Funny, but it doesn't really work. Statistical probabilities are not affected by previously known events (as long as you stay away from quantum physics)
