Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Degree/Degrees

 

 

Today’s prompt from Linda Hill for the Stream of Consciousness Saturday post is degree/degrees. If you want to play along go to Linda’s site and read about it. You can also see how others interpreted the prompt. http://lindaghill.com/2014/10/24/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-october-2514/

My interpretation is titled What is That? I hope you enjoy it.

“What is that?”

“What?”

“That rolled up thing in your hand.”

“This, my friend is my degree from college.”

“College? What is that?”

“You’re kidding? You don’t know what college is?”

“I know what it is I just wonder why you have a degree from college.”

“Shows I have an ability.”

“To do what?”

“Well for one thing it is a BS degree.”

“Okay, I am with you on that. You got plenty of BS alright.”

“Don’t be a jerk. It stands for Bachelor of Science.”

“I know you’re not married but didn’t realize you committed yourself to science.”

“It’s just the title of the degree. I have a concentration in Accounting.”

“Accounting for what?”

“Gad you’re thick aren’t you?”

“My aunt always said there’s no accounting for some people’s behavior.”

“I’ll bet she’s the root of your genius.”

“What is that?”

“What?”

“Root of genius.”

“You are exempt. Let’s get back to work.”

“Okay, here is your shovel.”
