this is my Mad Scientist Theory…
if you’ve been through high school. then props!
if you’ve graduated college. you’re epic!
if you’ve succeeded in graduate school. wow!
but be wary of super super graduate school…
because then they know you’re getting too smart…
there’s a time when you get so smart that you take over the classroom. you literally walk up to the professor, take his lesson book, and start teaching the class.
“Student A is getting too smart…”
“really?”
“yes, he took over the classroom… this is getting… problematic…”
“well what do you want me, the principal, to do about it?”
“you know… do ‘that thing.’”
“oh… ‘that thing.’”
“yes… ‘that thing’…”
“uhhh… what is ‘that thing’ again?”
“you dumbhead!”
they force you to enroll in a ‘special super super honors’ class.
then they give you a classroom partner who is going to be so attractive, that you’ll start spending all your time with romantic stuff.
that’s why 80% of super super graduate students become married!
but what happens to the other 20%?
well, they shrug off their partner and the partner tells the community about it.
and then everyone in the community says you’re weird.
and you get mad. so steaming mad.
you become a mad scientist…
