"If you really want to drive yourself crazy, pick up a six-sigma text."

I've always been interested in statistics and statistical matters (sad bastard that I am) so I once picked up a "six-sigma text", reckoning that it should be 'just up my street'. What a mistake! The first 12 chapters (out of about 15) were about how wise, wonderful and perceptive the author is - in fact he is probably the second most inspiring and enlightened being who ever walked the Earth - and is giving the first most inspiring and enlightened being a good run for his money!
I never did get to the statistical bits, at the back of the book, but quietly returned it to the bullsh.. - sorry, Management section of the company library.
