The significance of polling numbers

Too often, the non-Beagle media misinterpret polling numbers by focusing on the wrong elements. In a recent poll conducted by the Beagletown Bugle, a solid majority believed that Ann C(a certain word)lter was a "c" (65%), while smaller percentages believed she was an "a" or a "d." But this Rosarch-oriented test proved something far more significant -- that at least 16 people in the world read at least some portion of the Beagle.

More recently, Lawton, OK -- home of Ft. Sill and an apparent zoning law that requires that all commercial property go in the following order: check cashing place, liquor store, church, strip joint, bar, check cashing place, liquor store, church, strip joint, bar -- is taking a beating as America's most expendable city, but the Beagle editerrible board could not care less. The Beagle's tail is, however, wagging like a Buddy Miles drum solo because 24 people have voted -- a 150 percent increase over the previous poll. At this rate we expect to have 1,000,000 readers by...um...Christmas.
