Do fuzzy dice obey the laws of probability?
———- from Peggy Egli of Rosevill,e MN
Not at all, of course; that’s why they’re fuzzy dice. Originally, these were casino dice in Vegas. The scientific process of being smashed day in and day out into the walls of craps tables rendered the spotted ivories daft. They became delusional, developing a grandiose self image. Some dice in this condition actually become soothsayers, appearing at New Age mystical workshops all over the country. Others wrote self-help books and can be seen on morning talk shows peppily spouting nonsense and winning approval from the masses. But the end of the line for all these deluded dice is, pure and simple, fuzz. Yes, their fuzzy thinking becomes a fuzzy coating, and they end up dangling from the rear view mirrors for Fonzie and American Graffiti wannabees everywhere.
