R. A. Fisher and Karl Pearson play a heated round of golf. Being Statisticians, they agree before the round to run a two-sided paired T-test to see if either of them is statistically significantly better. After the first 17 holes, Fisher is ahead by 19 strokes, and openly gloating. On the 18th hole, he sinks a 20-foot putt for birdey, and smirks at Pearson. Pearson then "accidentally" hits his ball into several sand traps, trees, and water hazards, taking 100 strokes on the last hole.
