Time at the office is moving so slowly that it's actually going in reverse. To help pass some time, have some statistics that, while true, will change absolutely nothing about your day.
20% of auto accidents in Sweden involve a moose.
90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border.
74% of threats to federal workers are directed at IRS employees.
The average American only knows about 10% of the words in the English language.
17% of the air in the average human lung is exchanged with each breath.
65% of Americans say that TV is a necessity.
96% of deaths are from natural causes.
12% of the people arrested for murder are women.
95% of the paperwork filed in an office will never be seen again.
2% of New Mexico is owned by Ted Turner.
25% of beverages consumed in the US are soda.
Only 1 in 20 911 calls is for an actual emergency.
14% of Americans say they have skinny dipped with the opposite sex.
The average person will forget 80% of what they learned today.

20% of auto accidents in Sweden involve a moose.
-- I hit a duck once. A mallard.
90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border.
-- In Arizona, where I live, there is no border.
74% of threats to federal workers are directed at IRS employees.
-- I used to be a non-IRS federal employee, and never had a threat against me, that I knew of.
The average American only knows about 10% of the words in the English language.
-- I know 12% I reckon.
17% of the air in the average human lung is exchanged with each breath.
-- I smoke. Somewhat less for me...although I don't really understand the statement.
65% of Americans say that TV is a necessity.
-- My wife and kid own the TV. I listen to baseball on the back porch...like an old man.
96% of deaths are from natural causes.
-- Well that's reassuring.
12% of the people arrested for murder are women.
-- Someone very dear to me used to be engaged to a murderer. He's dead now, though. Heart attack from too much cocaine...and just being a fat ass.
95% of the paperwork filed in an office will never be seen again.
-- Tell me about it. My efforts are pointless.
2% of New Mexico is owned by Ted Turner.
-- Don't tell that to the gringo-hating bastards that live in rural New Mexico. Beautiful state; I get a lot of dirty looks in the rural areas, though.
25% of beverages consumed in the US are soda.
-- I drink a soda about once every two months.
Only 1 in 20 911 calls is for an actual emergency.
-- I called 911 once for a choking baby. Baby ate a dried leaf. Stupid baby. (It wasn't my baby. My kid was a smart baby.)
14% of Americans say they have skinny dipped with the opposite sex.
-- I've done that...and I did more than just swim.
The average person will forget 80% of what they learned today.
-- I forgot why I'm even doing this. Oh yeah. I'm bored and there are no good movies on. And I'm not tired. And I'm a little drunk.

Um, do you mean all calls that exist? 'caues then that would make sense and isn't very interesting. If you mean out of 911 calls, I don't believe you.
