چکیده    Statistic,as a subject,does a hugely challenging job. it tries to quantify the uncertainty of this world. dealing with uncertainty may often result in wrong conclusion. sometimes it is inevitable but sometimes it is intentional. some people may use statistics to suppress the fact or just to lie. this type of wrong practices goes with the ethical issues. we also observe that that even when we are trying to give a fair treatment to this subject,lack of knowledge could result in erroneous,funny and nonsense conclusions. in this paper,we would like to discuss these issues seriously. firstly,we will talk about abuse of statistics in real world problems. then,we try to find the factors which lead to the origination of nonsense statistics. our main and foremost objective has been always tell the truth with statistics. this paper is written to focus on the problems and to suggest remedial measures at the same time from the misconception that 'there are three kind of lies: lies,damn lies,and statistics'.
