Funneh!

That graph shows the problem of using a line graph where one axis is time. It's done properly, but gives the false impression that the line falls steeply and consistently over the year that folks are 19 and hits zero at 20. A bar graph would be better here. It would show the total number for 19 and then zero for 20. Instead of a steep decline there would be a vertical cliff.
