@Wifi_cable The saddest part is that the correlation implies by the joke doesn’t exist. (Technically: has a value of zero.) Everyone eventually dies whether they confuse the two or not.

I think that is why I like the joke.

@Wifi_cable Technically true, so far.
@wesdym @Wifi_cable Eh, the heat death of the universe will make it so.

@Wifi_cable What happens to married people who confuse correlation with causation?

Enquiring minds need to know!

@simon_brooke @Wifi_cable they die and their spouse _also_ dies.
@dan @Wifi_cable Lesson for the wise, then: ensure that your spouse understands the distinction between correlation and causation!
