Aunt Jen Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 You know, for a piddlin' sum, a person can go to a degree mill on the web, pay a few hundred or a few thousand, and get an "honorary degree." (It's cheaper to get photoshop and make your own.) No accreditation is met, usually. In these places, there is no study. Just paper, in exchange for your electrons to pay pal. I was wondering if I should try to find, maybe, a DTV, a doctorate for watching TV, or a DMC, a doctorate for eating at McDonalds. Or, I guess, that might be a Ph.D., a Doctor of Philosophy in Contemporary Fast Food Restaurants. I don't know what my point is, but it seems there ought to be some standard. I think we should be able to give SASS degrees (based on actual merit) to people who reload well, or shoot well, or who drive up in a nice car... Goodness...

Chickahominy Charlie Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Down in "Deep East Texas," a Ph.D. refers to one of them "blue-haired" ladies at church that doan cut their hair or ware no makeup....they pile that hare up o'top of they heads.....Ph.D. stand fer "Pentecostal Hair Do." ---a real quote from a pastor friend of mine. ....but I get yer drift. I'm not sure that the "degree" (or the paper its written on) is worth much in the job market, but....... Chick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt Jen Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I really should buy one, then I could say I have one. But I'm so honest, I'd have to always go around telling people, "It's fake; I bought it." But if I tell them I used a semicolon in the middle, they might still respect me. But it could be a good source of humor. They'd no doubt ask me if I really had to study for it, and I could tell them honestly that I had to study some of these posts, but that there was no test.

Bama Red Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Cryptographic Theology? Does that mean you are a Baptist? I would be, but SASS still doesn't have a Baptist category. In fact I'm gonna go one step further than Birdgun Quail and demand a Frontier Cartridge Baptist category! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usta suffer from that exact same condition, back when I was a serious drinkin' man! As a matter of fact, I was the role model for this video!!!
