Boss (to three employees in turn): "Hmm, that's tricky. Let's run a regression analysis." / "I think the best move here is a regression analysis." / "Say, I've got an idea! Let's run a regression analysis."
Employee 1: "Why is the boss having us run all of these pointless regression analyses?"
Employee 2: "Hey, when you've got a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
Employee 3: "And when you're done, everything looks like broken crap you've smashed with a hammer."
