	The originator of the phrase referred to was Samuel Clemens, 
also known as Mark Twain, who once said:

	
	"There are three types of liars: liars, damned liars, and
	 statisticians."

I can't remember where I first found this, but I believe that it was
in a book I have somewhere which has a large collection of his letters 
and some of his short stories.  I cannot remember which it may have 
come from.
