Academics

Steve Maas mentions:
"BEWARE--ACADEMIC BASHING BELOW--all in fun.
(I'm sure you all have a good sense of humor)
A cartoon by the late great B. Kliban titled (I think it was ) _Academics_
has a pipe-smoking bearded naked man on all fours with a high-tech
thinking cap on.  The cap is connected to a hose originating where the sun
don't shine."


I think I was in a class of his once!  (the man, not kliban)

My grandfather used to say of the first Ph.D. in the family, "He's a smart
fella, but he doesn't have enough sense to come in out of the rain."  (He
was right!)

My grandfather also liked to quote a Folk Saying:
"Too much reading rots the mind."

My grandfather was an avid reader (even if it was the Bible and Sir Walter Scott)!
