10 Reasons Why Party Girls Make The Best Wives - MTL Blog

Party till you run out of money–then ask for more!

I’m losing 75 to 100 views a day compared to last month, and I can’t find out why.

Maybe this post will help. It has a high viewership tradition. I re-run posts for the benefit of those who are newly come to this blog.

What happens when you give a nincompoop $90,000 for college?

Coed Blows Her $90,000 College Fund

Yup–tossed and scattered like confetti, with nothing to show for it. But this poor schlub would be a schlub with or without a college degree. None of her interviewers ever asked her what she was doing in college in the first place.

But this is what you get when you decide that everybody has to go to college. This is “higher education,” dumbed down and spread thin.

What could we do with the billions of dollars wasted on college every year?

Speaking of satire, this isn’t one. I know it sounds like a satire, but it isn’t. It also sounds like it could be one of those tongue-in-cheek bite-sized science fiction stories Isaac Asimov used to write, but it isn’t one of those, either.

It’s real.

Let this quote suffice: “Salvatore Garau has sold his latest invisible sculpture” (https://wamu.org/story/21/06/01/italian-artist-sells-invisible-sculpture-for-real-money/). For $18,000. Not make-believe money. The buyer gets a certificate.

Of what? Idiocy?

Paying $18,000 literally for nothing. Once upon a time, this would have been called a sin: incontinence. Having more money than is good for you and not knowing what to do with it–so you waste it. Squander it.

I think it’s probably still a sin; and probably carries its own punishment, too.
