Happy Fast Sunday

So my buddy handed me this note after church today. He’s an artist, obviously, but also apparently a comedian.

Going to get a PhD

The little brother is going to get a PhD. This ruins everything.

EDIT 10:50 a.m. Dec. 15: Be sure to read this for background.

Letter of recommendation

I’m working on a letter of recommendation for my TA. He’s applying for degrees in security studies, so they need to know he has lots of security. I’m considering something like this for the last paragraph. Me and cousin Rico here, we sure wanna see Jonny get into grad school, you know?

Temperatures, surroundings and perceptions: A consideration of the complaints
