Just Call me Dr. yfs1

I was reading a story in which a police dog got a college degree from the same place the Chief of Police did. The dogs name was Rocko but it said John I. Rocko on his diploma (apparently you can’t register for college with one name which I am sure is the reason Maddona never got her doctrate). Anyway it came to light because some lawyer wanted to call the college educated dog to the stand to testify about the qualifications of the Chief of Police.

As funny as the story is, it made me want to add to my educational alpabet soup and maybe go for my doctrate. I went to the educational site in question and it had a list of degrees. I read a testimonial there that really got me excited:

Associate, Bachelor, Master/MBA, Doctor/Ph.D.
Dear Sirs,
I am impressed and delighted with the results of my investment as I have just received my Bachelor of Science degree in Nuclear Science. The transcripts exceed my expectations, my employer recognized the entire course curriculum as almost identical to his own traditional college transcripts. His initial skepticism about distance learning schools immediately disappeared when he got to verify the copies of your governmental registration papers that were included in my credentials package. Your program must be the fulfilment of every professional’s dream. Thank you so much for this fantastic opportunity.
-Francis D.

I RECEIVED MY CREDENTIALS TODAY AND WAS AWESTRUCK TO THE PROFESSIONALISM!!! Thank you so much!

Forgot for a moment that the government in question above (when they say “His initial skepticism about distance learning schools immediately disappeared when he got to verify the copies of your governmental registration papers that were included in my credentials package”) is Liberia, I still really want a degree in Nuclear Science.

The Bachelors is less then $500 but the real deal is the Doctrate which is a bargain at $999. I get my diploma in 20 days (depending on the US Postal Service). Thats not bad considering it takes other people 12 years.

Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, here I come!

    If you put Homer out of a job I won’t be impressed, he had to earn his degree amazing education.

    Aha! Now the real reason for dropping the BIN on you sig auction to $999. =P

    Seriously though, how cool would it be to have a degree in Nuclear Science when going for a job interview? Especially when you don’t have to do any (real) work.

    I’ve been reading more comics lately and mutant-power-inducing-mad-scientist-gaffs spring to mind for some reason.
