After completing US Navy training including Vietnam escape and evasion school, I started as a freshman at South Texas Junior College in January of 1968. I was married and working full time. This educational institution had two nicknames in Houston as follows: "Harvard on the bayou" or "Oxford on the cess pool." I bought a big pile of books in the bookstore. I had no idea of how I was going to graduate. With a lot of faith and hard work I graduated with highest honors in June of 1969. I went on to graduate from Tulane University. I got into graduate school of business at George Washington University and made good grades. South Texas Junior College evolved into the University of Houston Downtown Campus. It's now a serious academic institution. I' m proud to add its sweatshirt to my collection!

How about "Yale on the dogpile". That has a nice ring to it.

I hate all these ivy league similes. Like, everything has to be compared to drooling, inbred rich fucks, the Kardashians of higher education.

Almost sounds like bragging or an ego trip. Sorry I'm not impressed.

How much money can you put your hands on,immediately?
Do you have debt & why?
Have you ever tried being self employed your entire life & not answering to anyone?
How many people have you had to answer to?

I've never been accused of being politically correct or giving a damn about anyone's tender sensibilities?

The only important question is: Do you vote for either Republicans or Democrats?
