Great pictures on this thread.
With the NFL Draft going on, I found where these guys worked prior to servicing turntables:
They were released after the NFC Championship Game:

our son the mathematician sent me this link to a presentation illustrating the fun of using statistics to describe sets of data. This illustrates something I tell folks all the time; always look at your data; don't just accept the word of a statistics package (or stats from Excel)

All of these datasets have the same set of summary statistics.
Gotta love that.

Where was Moses when the lights went out?

In the dark, of course.

I was, of course, using that time-honored riddle to illuminate the blazing importance of the incandescent Mr. lightman1's brilliant vocation.
Bonus brownie points to anyone who knows the literary reference that features the aforementioned riddle/joke

Times up! Huckleberry Finn.
But it was a candle....

I was thinking of Tennesee Williams' The Glass Menagerie (FWIW).

That, too...Buck was talking to Huck about the tale of Moses and the candle as well.

I absolutely don't doubt you -- although I have to admit, with great chagrin, that I don't remember.
I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in high school... although come to think of it, I read The Glass Menagerie in high school too. Maybe I remember the latter a little better because we also staged it as part of the class

I'm a former professor of English who has read both Huck Finn and Glass Menagerie several times -- albeit not for decades.
I don't remember the joke or allusion thereto in either of them.

Offhand, I can only cite Menagerie.
It's the scene where -- the lights go out
See the link I posted earlier. No idea why I remember it so vividly, though.
I do remember that I really did like the play (although I am largely lukewarm on Williams).

@mhardy6647,
I was just lamenting my apparent memory problems. I can only say the brain cells used to retain info much better.

Not a pretty day for it, but I just saw the first scarlet tanager of the year... and happened to have the camera reasonably nearby.

Another not great photo, but at least the sun was - briefly - out when I took this one. The blurriness is sue to taking the photo through a window at a very oblique angle.
