PSA: Don't get a PhD, kids.

[KrazyHorse]

Yet another post in which you avoid actually telling anybody what, precisely, your supposed doctoral degree was in

teh real reason not to get a PhD is because it seems it will forever doom you to internet forum pissing contests about your how your field of study stacks up with that of other PhD's. but then again, it seems having a dick may also have much the same effect. but then again, you aren't born with a PhD and so it's probably less painful to avoid having...

Y'know, it takes two to have a dick-measuring contest, Aeson. Even more if you have a judge, or a panel of judges. You include color commentators and a film crew, we're talking tons of peo--ahem. Anyway, it goes both ways.

Holding a PhD provides more of a pay boost over the alternative than having a penis does. This will remain true until we can get women back in the kitchen.

Those of us with PhDs in real subjects instantly see this. Those of you without obviously have trouble with it.

Apples to oranges... how does holding a PhD compare to "holding" a penis?

[Cort Haus]

That might depend on whose penis it is.

[Elok]

Also, are you HOLDING, as in while they pee, or is it more of a stroking deal? This is a complicated subject.

[Aeson]

Given the context of this thread, it would be your own. (By "your own" I mean each individual's own penis, not everyone holds your's specifically Cort, sorry!) Which is why I felt it necessary to point out the discrepancy in wording between the two options... If holding a PhD is worth more than having a penis, we would perhaps come to certain conclusions about what "tuition" KH paid. (Given that he's chose a Jewish institution to join, those conclusions may be partially correct as far as his workplace is concerned.)

In any case, it's obviously much more reasonable to part with holding your penis than actually part with your penis itself.

I'm sure that post made sense in Aspie logic.

[Elok]

Not entirely, no.

[Tupac Shakur]

Good. I thought I was way drunker than I should be after a couple glasses of Henny.

[Aeson]

You seem to be confused, this is about holding your own penis vs holding a PhD, not about holding the penis of a PhD. Sorry to disappoint.

[Tupac Shakur]

Yeah, that one doesn't make any sense, either.

[Aeson]

I'd explain it to you, but it is after all a joke about dicks, and so already about as dumbed down as it can get.
