| <JoeyTribbz> | A stats professor plans to travel to a conference by plane. When he passes the security check, they discover a bomb in his carry-on-baggage. Of course, he is hauled off immediately for interrogation. |

"I don't understand it!" the interrogating officer exclaims. "You're an accomplished professional, a caring family man, a pillar of your parish - and now you want to destroy that all by blowing up an airplane!"Â |
| |
"Sorry", the professor interrupts him. "I had never intended to blow up the plane."Â |
| |
"So, for what reason else did you try to bring a bomb on board?!"Â |
| |
"Let me explain. Statistics shows that the probability of a bomb being on an airplane is 1/1000. That's quite high if you think about it - so high that I wouldn't have any peace of mind on a flight."Â |
| |
"And what does this have to do with you bringing a bomb on board of a plane?"Â |
| |
"You see, since the probability of one bomb being on my plane is 1/1000, the chance that there are two bombs is 1/1000000. If I already bring one, the chance of another bomb being around is actually 1/1000000, and I am much safer..." |
