A single-panel comic at an airport security checkpoint. A uniformed officer with reddish hair and a badge asks a woman in glasses with graying hair, "Are you carrying any explosive chemicals?" She deadpans, "Probably not." A caption below reads: "Fun Fact: No statistician has ever been on an airplane." The joke: as a statistician, she can only answer probabilistically, never with certainty. The votey shows a rough sketch of the woman's face as she adds, "Would you like confidence intervals, officer?"
