COLLEGE JOKE

IT SEEMS THIS GUY WALKED INTO WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS A HOUSE
OF ILL REPUTE. HE WAS USHERED TO THIS ROOM BY A MATRON
AND TOLD TO MAKE HIMSELF COMFORTABLE. HE NOTICED THAT
THE ROOM WAS FILLED WITH BOOKS ON METAPHYSICS,
PHILOSOPHY, ETHICS, PHYSICS, AND SCIENCE. HE WAS QUITE
SURPRISED. AFTER THE YOUNG LADY HAD FINISHED HER
WORK, HE ASKED HER ABOUT THE BOOKS. SHE SAID THAT SHE
READ THEM QUITE OFTEN. HE INQUIRED FURTHER AND SHE
REVEALED THAT SHE HAD A B.S. FROM WAYNE, A M.A. FROM
THE UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT, AND A PH.D. FROM MARYGROVE.
SHOCKED THE CUSTOMER ASKED HER WHY WITH ALL THIS
BACKGROUND DID SHE TAKE UP THE LIFE OF A PROSTITUTE
AND SHE REPLIED, "JUST LUCKY I GUESS."
