So one of the fire chiefs is a guy I used to work with, nice enough dude. Very stubborn and convinced he's always right, he and I would go at it quite a bit when we worked together, more often than not I would push his buttons just to troll because I knew I would never convince him otherwise and it was fun to watch him go off.
Anyway, still friends with him on facebook, he doesn't post much, but every so often he drops a bomb like this. Misleading stats are misleading.

It makes the bars look way off in comparison to the real data. It's funny because it's obviously fabricated to look the way it does with obscure data. |
