EOW pages Dr. Mauldin

“Is there a doctor in the house?” “Hurry please, is there anyone there?” “Hang in there we are getting you help. “Please can anyone help?”

“I’m a doctor. What is the matter?”

“It is this…this…presentation….it is dying and I don’t know what to do!”

“When did the symptoms first appear?”

“Right after the first slide…To be honest we fed it some data we had lying around, and well…it’s not going over very well.”

“Hmmm…Let me take a look…Dang this is exactly what I was afraid of…The math and the statistical liberties that were taken with this data are causing it to fail…No one should have to witness this presentation!!! NO ONE!!! Please stand aside while I give it some credibility and breathe some life into its analysis.”
[Minutes of intense slide manipulation go by…at one point the Dr. sticks his hands into the presentation to manipulate its core]
“I was able to save this presentation this time. I’m afraid the data you fed it was tainted. Please check the source of the data before feeding it again. For now it’s going to require a little rest but I believe it’s going to live.”

“Thank you…Dr?”

“You can just call me…’Charlie’”

Congratulations Charlie on your EOW win (no doubt had to pry it out of the hands of those scientists from last week)!
