    I assumed Gun Sponge's thought at the time was "I can't believe I made it!"

    But I'm sure she's headed for a career as an Astrophysicist at CERN.

    My favorite story like this is from Dr. Mrs.. When she was in her doctoral program one of her dissertation advisers was a wonderful crotchety, very old school, guy. Basically Christopher Lasch only less pop and more serious scholarship. She was meeting with a mint new faculty member and her adviser walked in, glanced at his PhD mounted on his office wall, and said "Well, I assumed."

    So for those of you playing at home: unless you're a medical doctor or a lawyer, don't do that sh-t. Act like you belong there.
    I've seen a few people who have their degrees up at work, even in their cubes(!). I've never understood it but never really thought about it much either. I have mine at home hanging up in my future home office. But no one ever sees them but me. To be honest though, whatever. If it makes someone happy, do it.

      In my time in the Federal Government, managers had the "I love me" wall with every photo of every award they ever received. I guess we were supposed to be impressed.

          Yeah, there could be a lot of reasons for it. It might just be vanity. But it might be something else. Maybe they were the first in their family to go to college or get a degree. Maybe someone along the way told them they were wasting their time and money going to college. Maybe they had to work two jobs and take care of a kid at home while they were going to school and they consider it the accomplishment of their lifetime.

          My view is that if they want to display the certificates where others can see them, good on them.
          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              A blatant violation of his rights! Nowhere in the Constitution does it restrict your second amendment rights based on your blood alcohol level.

                  The Tennessee coed at the museum was an amateur. No holster; poor concealment.
