Conversations With Cody

"Mom, what does PhD stand for?"

"Piled Higher and Deeper."

"Huh?"

"Well you get your B.S first. You know what B.S stands for."

"Yeah. Bull shhhhhh."

"Then you get your M.S. which means More of the Same. And finally, your PhD--Piled Higher and Deeper."

"That's funny! ....

I didn't know you could tell a joke."

That's a good one.

Buck said...

That IS funny! I imagine you did a bit of a double-take at Cody's closing remark...

Becky G said...

Sus, thanks!

Amy, thanks, but it's not original. I first heard it way back when I was in college twenty-mffffm years ago.

Buck, yeah, I did do a bit of a double take.

When I graduated with my BS in Education, I thought BS was very appropriate. I remember standing in line in my cap and gown next to this cowboy in his cap and gown. He began explaining that the different colored ribbons and ropes meant different honor graduates: See that guy over there? He gradutated summa cum laude. And see that guy over there? He gradutated magna cum laude. You and I, we gradutated thank the laude.
