"Daaaarlings, you come to Edna for advice? How can she help you?"



Edna, I'm getting nowhere on this Medical Oncology paper. My boss wants a draft by Friday. Will you help me write my Results section?



"Darling, Edna is always ready to help the cause of Science or fashion! They really boil down to the same thing, don't they? Here is what you must do: you must call a supermodel, and immediately schedule a photo session!"



Huh?

"Darling, do not doubt Edna, for when you look fabulous, then your results will be fabulous!"



Um, but how does this relate to referral to a specialist.

"Darling, relax and have a glass of wine, and let your supermodel calculate your column percentages and chi-square statistics for you! That's what they're for after all. Looking smart, and using nonparametric statistics."



Uh, supermodels can handle statistical spreadsheets?

"Enough darlings, Edna must retire now. Write your little Results section, and don't forget to include the results of the Akaike Information Criterion in your logistic regression results."
