Smart? The state sez I is certifiable!

Ah, The degreed individual and those asking for such sheepskins of accomplishment.

Where do I start? I have seen so many employers now advertising for a 2 year degree minimum, WITHOUT EVEN CARING WHAT IT IS IN!

What does this mean? Well your future boss or management type figure could have got that first foot in the door at your future company on a golden ticket of a 2 year degree in liberal arts or animal husbandry at the nearest community college.

Thats right, your new boss could have gotten where he or she is by passing the diverse educational standards of esteemed universities anywhere and everywhere to become the well rounded individual and leader you will follow without question by learning how to jack off pigs into a bottle or writing their thesis on the socially redeeming value of contemporary great works of the theater such as Cats.

These tend to be the same folks who buy those crappy vanity plates.

Vanity plates possibly represent the stupidest of the stupid. Nothing says "I is am over achiever" than someone who takes a state mandated tax in order to put your vehicle on the road and actually pays more for the privilege.

Question: What kind of bonehead pays more tax than the state mandates for anything?

Answer: The kind of person with a vanity plate.

They probably pay more sales tax at the supermarket to take home groceries in bags with their logo of choice on it as well simply because their need to tell anyone and everyone their spending habits is so ingrained and programmed into them they simply cannot resist to pay more for the privilege of advertising.

Do they still wear their class ring from high school too?

Does this mean I have angst towards these folks, not really..it may seem so to the obtuse amongst us but I have learned the following in my time here on planet Earth.

"A public declaration of anything means less than nothing."

Substance, ethics, intelligence, wisdom, taste, tact and a whole barrel full of other assets cannot be bought nor taught nor sold nor learned at the business end of a beer bong...your either born are a thinker or you are not.


Welcome to Detroit.
