STATISTICALLY SPEAKING

Germany was frequently bombing Russia during World War 
II.  Every time the air raid siren sounded, people rushed to 
the nearest air raid bomb shelter.  One person who never 
took shelter was a professor of statistics.  He argued that 
there are seven million people in Russia and the probability 
of a bomb actually dropping on him was very small.  Then 
suddenly one day when the air raid siren was sounded the 
professor rushed to the air raid shelter along with his 
neighbours from the building.
"Lost your nerver professor ?"asked one of his aquaitances.
" NO" said the professor " but I have realized that the bombs 
do not observe the laws of probability.  There were seven 
million people and one elephant in Russia .  Yesterday they 
got the elephant."
