Dear Mister Wonderful,
I noticed recently that my graduate degree includes the phrase, “...and
all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto.” What are those
rights and privileges?
Your Fan,
I Degree

Dear Rhoda Scholar,
Ah yes, academia. I remember when I, Mister Wonderful, first earned my
degree in Histrionics from old Miskatonic U. No one else remembers it,
of course, because that time stream was wiped out after Mister Dark used
the Way Back Machine to go butterfly hunting and wound up stepping on
Massachusetts. Terrible business, but what can you do?
I spent a semester trapped in a Mobius co-ed, myself. And I never got
credit for it.
Did you know that a privilege is really just a right? It's not a
universal right (privileges are only granted to certain groups), but it
means the same thing, in that it limits what others can do to you. That
is, my *right* to free speech is actually a legal *limit* on *your*
ability to shut me up. The *privileges* of those yahoos at the country
club down the street simply *limit* my ability to punch them directly in
their rich noses.
Anyway. Point is. As a college graduate, you have the right to remain
soylent. Anything you eat is probably people. IT'S PEOPLE!!
You know, I've been waiting to use that joke for seven years now. I'd
like to thank you on behalf of the Labs and ourselves, and I hope we
passed the audition.
