    I haven't come up with a good joke, let alone a clean good one, since I dropped in last week..

    Here is a little anecdote from my college days.. perhaps this might do? -

    Back 1,000 years ago when I was a college freshman (freshperson these PC days now?) .. the very first class I went to was a history class, in huge lecture hall with the professor at a podium up front. On that first day he gave us a little insight into life in academia and those who pursue it as a career choice:

    "You all know what B.S. is .. well, M.S. is More of the Same.. and PH.D. is Piled Higher and Deeper!"

    (I apologize if this is still a bit ...off-color? for the requirements?

    Not to mention that most reviews indicate that it's a piece of junk! Cute - but junk all the same!
