N: hey
Me: hey wassup?
N: I've gotta geek at you.
Me: oooh bring it on!
N: I'm reading the US Census report on County Business Patterns.
And I'm perusing the section on reliability of data.

"However, the data are subjectto nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors can be attributedto many sources: inability to identify all cases in the universe;"

Me: LOL
N: I know, I know... stupid dork humor *grin*
Me: :-) no, no, that's great!
N: I figured you might like it!
Me: I do :-)
you know how to pick your geeks
