To Disneyland - you can now throw away that "Banned for Life" file you have on me

Now that I have gone to my reward, I have confessions and things I should now say. As it turns out, I AM the guy who stole the safe from the Motor View Drive Inn back in June, 1971. I could have left that unsaid, but I wanted to get it off my chest. Also, I really am NOT a PhD. What happened was that the day I went to pay off my college student loan at the U of U, the girl working there put my receipt into the wrong stack, and two weeks later, a PhD diploma came in the mail. I didn't even graduate, I only had about 3 years of college credit. In fact, I never did even learn what the letters "PhD" even stood for. For all of the Electronic Engineers I have worked with, I'm sorry, but you have to admit my designs always worked very well, and were well engineered, and I always made you laugh at work. Now to that really mean Park Ranger; after all, it was me that rolled those rocks into your geyser and ruined it. I did notice a few years later that you did get Old Faithful working again. To Disneyland - you can now throw away that "Banned for Life" file you have on me, I'm not a problem anymore - and SeaWorld San Diego, too, if you read this

I had to laugh about the PhD part. Many who did graduate are dumber than a box of rocks. Cheating and buying off is common in some Universities today. If you have the money and know the right people you can be a Harvard grad. Nuff said.

My wife has a PHD in some sort of education. And she used it for about 40 years. A few times a year, usually after a semi-serious conversation, I go to our home office to again read her diploma and wonder what kind of idiots at that well accredited institution gave this to her?

I don't like to brag about my PHD so I keep it in the basement. I used it about 68 times a few years ago. I look at it sometimes and remember how much grief it brought me while I was building my pool deck. A Post Hole Digger (PHD) will wear you out in a hurry. HAHAHAHA
