'I should not that the cherry and whipped cream were an afterthought created by our graphics dept.'

'Quick! We need a bigger chart in here!'

"The trend in tough economic times is to put off everything that doesn't require immediate action ? as this chart shows."

'First you forget logarithms. Then you forget how to do long division. Then the multiplication table begins to go...'

'Now, keep in mind that these numbers are only as accurate as the fictitious data, ludicrous assumptions and wishful thinking they're based upon!'

"Here are the new sales figures, which way up would you like them?"

'Why can't you tell me you love me without all the charts and graphs?!'

"We need to change, but WHEN?"

"And now, a little theorem for all you lovers out there."

'The path to becoming an astronaut is rougher than I thought.'

'Sorry, everyone. That last chart kind of startled me.'

'There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. We're looking for someone who can make all three of these work for us.'

Expenses/Income. "Our only problem is working out how to switch these."

'At the sales department, we've got to meet our performance targets. We're not here to care about reality.'
