Dissertation
- Anonymous -"Well, would you let me finish my dissertation first?" asked the frog.
"That's the silliest thing I've ever heard! What's your dissertation on, anyway?"
"Well, the title of the dissertation is 'The Superiority of Frogs to Snakes and Herons.'"
"I'd like to see that just for the sheer stupidity of the thesis!" said the snake. So he took the frog, went under the mud bank, and never came out again.
A week or so later, the frog came out from under the bank to get another breath of fresh air, but this time it was snatched by a heron. "Any last requests before I eat you?" said the heron.
"Well, would you let me finish my dissertation first?" asked the frog.
"What's it on?"
"Well, the title of the dissertation is 'The Superiority of Frogs to Snakes and Herons.'"
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! I want to read it first -- they say laughter aids digestion." So the heron took the frog under the bank and never came out again.
A week or so later, the frog came out from under the bank and yelled, "EUREKA! I'm finished!"
So one of his fellow frogs came over and asked, "So, what's the dissertation on?"
"Well, the title of the dissertation is 'The Superiority of Frogs to Snakes and Herons.'"
"That sounds pretty tough to prove! Could I look at it?"
When they went into the frog's bank, they saw a word processor, a number of empty pop cans and food wrappers strewn about the room, a scattering of books lying here and there, a pile of heron bones, a pile of snake bones, a finished dissertation, and an alligator.
The moral of the story: It's not the title of your dissertation, but who your director is.
