"There are three kinds of lies; lies, damned lies, and statistics." unknown author, circa 1850

"The famous statement refers to the persuasive power of numbers, the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments, and the tendency of people to disparage statistics that do not support their position." Wikipedia

.....

You all have to agree that a 27-percent, one year drop in the waterfront average selling price based on 55 different sales between January 1 and September 30, 2009 is certainly a statistic to contemplate. Like, why-O-why did this happen?

Let me pitch out a grease ball of a reason here.......well,,,,shazam - a - ramarama

! .....you know that January 1, 2009 was the first day of the Winnipesaukee 45-25 speed limits....therefore....it is absolutely-positively-absolutely an undisputed fact this 27-percent price decrease is all about the nice folks with the big, expensive go-fast boats wanting to unload their waterfront homes and move away, somewhere to a new Lake Go-Fast.

....case closed!
