Woman Wins Record For Longest 13 Year College Plan

So I went back to college yesterday for another semester
after dropping oTflagut 13 years ago. Lucky Number 13.

So I'm at the bookstore paying for my textbooks and the young, blond, bubbly, Di Phi E student working the register says to me:

“Hi, do you have your teacher ID number?”

"I’m not a teacher…"

“Do you have your son or daughters ID with you?

"I'm the student-"

"Oh my God, really?  Get outa here?"

"I did. 13 years ago.  Which is exactly why I'm here-"

"That’s sooo cool.  You know what I just saw?  I just saw Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield? It was hysterical!"

(The bitch is comparing me to Rodney Dangerfield???)

"So when was the last time you were here?"

" '93."

"Wow!  I was born in 88.  When were you born?"

"71."

"Wow!  So you must remember Vietnam?"

"Sure. I remember the naypalm, torturous games of Roulet, the smell of a bunke..."

"Wow.  That's cool…so was this building here back then?"

"Nope.  No cement.  Just grass huts.  Everywhere."

"Are you joking now?  Hahaha! (Infectious annoying laugh) You're funny!  Did you need a notebook and pencil?" notebooks or pencils…

"Stone tablets will do just fine, thank you."

**********
So now I'm doing the night shift.  What this girl lacked was a little bit of soul...allow me to date myself.

You have a wonderful talent for writing. And messing with people's minds.

Keep up the good work!

Hey, I didn't realize you were so seasoned!

I've been working on a translation of some heiroglyhpics. Perhaps you could help?

:)

hilarious.

I didn't realize you could take wellbutrin for ADHD. does it work well? I'm an adderal guy and like it a lot better than Ritalin which was so high school.

Hello Kali! Seems like forever. As always, you are a riot! Congrats on the whole Rodney Dangerfield thing.

Just so you don't feel old:
a. I was born in 64!
b. I dropped out of school in 84.
c. I went back to school and FINALLY received a bachelor's degree a couple of years ago.

Trust me, I can relate.

Have fun!

Wow..you just lived my worst nightmare..I dream it every time I think about going back to college. You're brave..best of luck and have some fun.

C'mon now... she didn't really say that shit did she?

She didn't say the Vietnam stuff...that was dialog playing in my brain. Everything else, yes, like your average 18 year old.

LOL kids today have no sense of time/age and are more shocked at what people do when they get older, but older to them is ancient no matter what the age :/
