For years, now, the highest tiers of our university system have turned out our nation’s “elites”.
And the reason we know they are our “elites” is because they are smart.
And the reason we know they are smart is because they got good grades from an “elite” university.
So I’m going to start an “elite” university.
You’ll know my university’s students are the best in America – because they’ll all get A+++es on their transcripts. Which, as we know, is better than an A++, to say nothing of an A+.
Oh, relax. It’s not like Harvard does pretty much the same thing.
So does Spinal Tap.
Their amplifiers have volume knobs that can be turned up to 11 (as opposed to all others which only go to 10).
I can see it now – future transcripts from Harvard:
Smooth education; course work, test scores and theses as described, excellent hBayer, would educate again. A++++++
Advance Placement recognition for young adults.
However, I’m sure their parents (who are footing the bill) are just as bothersome about it as they were in high school …
