Gershon, these days you can go online and print off a degree of your choosing. Of course, You will be found out if you don't know anything about the subject. Enjoyed, excellently written. Blessings ~ Debra

Hmm. Never thought of that. Thanks for the tip, Debra. ~ A Degree for Free! I'll probably get what I pay for.

Some people think that because the attended a prestigious school they are a bit better than most others. Clothes don't make the man nor a cap and gown a genius. The way I see it, accept me as I am and I will show you the same courtesy. Nicely done Gershon. God Bless, JB

So, true... And by the way, I flunked out of 'Atsamata U.' So I got my degree later in life at the 'School of Hard Knocks.' :) gw
