BEACHCOMBER received this interesting piece from a regular contributor.
Here it goes.
“I was driving around Lautoka when my friend asked me about a new building that was being built in the CBD area.
We found out who it belonged to and he said, “Hey that guy has a PhD”.
I said, “He is a professor, not a Dr of Philosophy, there is a difference”.
After a while he asked, “How can I get a PhD”.
I said, “You have to school very hard and no grog and not mucking around. You have to be diligent in your studies”.
Then he said, “I think I will go and try and get a PhD. But what does diligent mean”.
I said, “You can’t get a PhD if you don’t know what diligent means”.
Then he sadly said, “Bro, don’t put me down reh, my PhD will be permanent head damage”.
I had to stop the car, get off and laugh out loud.
I have such wise friends.
