Our colleges are full of illiterate students and instructors. Some
of the students manage to graduate and get real jobs. You might
think journalists would be exempt from illiteracy, but it's not
true. Always double check what you read in the news if a story
sounds even microscopically inaccurate.
Graffiti on a college restroom wall:

"If you're a history major, this is the only job you'll ever have."



On the other hand, George Bush has a degree from Yale. In history.

No, he doesn't really. If he did, he would not have repeated it.


Heh! Here's an example of "Google is not ALWAYS your friend!"

I'm sitting in the living room of an attractive lady watching the TV news.
I'm waiting for her to skin a muskrat or whatever women are doing when they
say "I'll be ready in a minute." When, apparently hearing the news and
reaching a stopping point on the muskrat project, she suddenly bursts into
the room and scream: "That goddamn Bush should learn some history!"

I reply: "Uh, he has a degree from Yale. In history." (note similarity to my
comment above).

She: "That's a goddamn lie!"

Me: (tappity-tappity on her computer) "Ah, here it is. He also has an MBA
from Harvard."

She: "THE ****IN' REPUBICANS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE INTERNET!"

Thinking quickly, I concocted a complicated, but believable, excuse for
leaving. I think it was "I have to go." Anyway, I learned two things:

1. Google is not always your friend.
2. Use caution when dating someone who is bi-polar (used to be called
"manic-depressive").

It was only our second date, so I didn't have more than about a hundred
dollars invested in the endeavor. I shudder to think what would have
happened if, say, two years down the road and happily married, I'd found out
then that she was a liberal.



I know a nice gal who is a raving Liberal. When she
hears certain radio talk show hosts, she transforms
into something out of "The Exorcist". I like her
anyway because she's fun to tease, just like my
Southern Baptist cousins, only different buttons to
push. Anyway she has adopted several dogs and cats
and one day I started talking to her about cat juggling.
I explained that cats can't handle end over end flips
when you pick them up behind the shoulders and toss
them into the air whilst imparting a spin, the look on
her face was priceless. The jaw dropping stare of abject
horror she exhibited had me about to bust a gut laughing.
I could see the color quickly draining from her face so
I had to gently explain that I was only kidding. I get a
similar vein popping reaction from my Southern Baptist
friends when I state that my doctor told me I could no
longer have children because they contain too much sugar
and I could choke on the small bones. People are fun to
tease.
