This is the paper that made me realize that I can be a smartass when I write. Context: this was the first paper in my AP Psych class my senior year. I went in to take the test and blanked. I could not remember a thing. I somehow managed to pull this out, and, despite getting a zero, my teacher loved it. She reads it to her classes every year. The parts in parenthesis are comments she wrote on the paper.

Mean, four letters long, two consonants, two vowels, one syllable. It can mean a lot of things, most of which I don't care for. Median, three consonants, three vowels, three syllables. Break it down it's me-di-an, and if you put together di and an you get me-dian, or me dying, which is what I'm doing. Mode, two vowels, two consonants, one syllable. When I think of mode it turns into mold, which is what is growing on my brain at the moment. (You are at least clever when you don't know)
A skewed distribution is, well let's break it down. Skewed is something random, so completely random it looks like an explosion. Distribution, root word is distribute, which means to put out, not necessarily a good thing to do. So if we put them both together we get randomly putting out.
To relate mean, median, and mode to normal distribution is a grand feat in and of itself. People worship those who can do so as gods, and as what my friends and I call "GALFers," people with absolutely no life. (I am laughing my head off. I wish I could give you credit for creativity!)
Now, relating them to a skewed distribution is something most people can do. Mean, median, and mode are three words randomly chosen to contain meaning of incomprehensible power. Now, if somebody has a skewed distribution or is "randomly putting out," they too are being randomly powerful.
All I read on this next part is intelligence test. I don't care to write on it. If you don't know why read the four paragraphs before this.
Two normal distributions, since there is no such thing as normal this question is invalid and hurtful to a good deal of people, myself included.
