always fitting

"Get a grip" is basically the best response to most things. Well, that, and "Fair enough." Can you think of anything someone could say that couldn't be answered with one of those two statements?

I dare say you cannot.

"You never blog anymore." Fair enough.
"Are you going to practice law?" Get a grip.
"You freak me out." Fair enough.

See what I mean?

In other news, this week I heard someone say (meaning I read on a random's blog) that "It's good to know I got a college degree just in case I ever need it."

You mean, if you ever need to use YOUR BRAIN??

Sigh. Education isn't food storage.

That's all.

Sheesh, give me a major unmitigated break! "In case I ever need it?" Goes to show, I am wrong when I say an education is never wasted. I'll bet she's one of those airheads who made straight As and got a scholarship, therefore depriving someone who APPRECIATES an education from getting one! (You know the type. Not a brain cell in her head, but does well on tests and promptly forgets everything she ever learned.)

Food Storage -- Education --that explains alot for me now. You see I have food storage, downstairs in the basement gathering dust, forget to use it ---JUST LIKE MY FREAKING BRAIN.

Funny post. I loved it. I might just be afraid to open my mouth from now on. But now that you got me thinking more critcally, what qualifies as "using your brain?"

So what would your response to "It's good to know I got a college degree just in case I ever need it" be...

Get a grip or Fair enough? ;)

I have a college degree....well actually I'm 5 credits shy of one but I use my knowledge that I gained there every single day. Sheesh.

I have two degrees I will never need if she wants them. Because I am so extra righteous that I will never have to work. And if I need to have any "original" thoughts for my callings, I can just find them on Sugardoodle.

and neither is a college degree a guarantee that you're going to get a job if you ever need one, if you're a moron to begin with.
