Just because you’re a college student doesn’t mean you’re smart. I don’t care if you got a 36 on the ACT. I don’t care if you took college classes starting in junior high. It doesn’t matter if you’re on the honor roll. In fact, even having a doctorate doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be smart. Because sometimes, no matter how hard a person tries, they can sound like a high school dropout. Perhaps you already know this.
On any given day, I go to the cafeteria, or a well-trafficked area and sit. Sit and listen. Ok, I’ll be honest. I shamelessly eavesdrop. I figure if people didn’t want other people listening, they wouldn’t be talking in public. It is my social responsibility to pay attention when other people are talking.
And if I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t have come across these dialogical gems.
“Are bananas a fruit?”
“If a Mexican person learned French, what would his accent sound like?”
“I hate crunching on salt when I walk on snowy sidewalks. I feel like I’m stepping on my ancestors.”
“Did you know that if you stick earbuds up your nose playing music you can hear it through your mouth?”
Guy: “Dude! We all need to get some girl jeans.”
“Do you think it would be a bad idea to drink this hand sanitizer?”
“I should not have saran-wrapped my legs together”
“HERE, H-E-A-R. GET OUT OF HERE!”
“I have no idea where it came from, but there’s this loaf of bread under my bed. And I’m pretty sure something’s growing on it.”
“What makes a cookie tough? Or smart? Why don’t people just say ‘You’re one tough person’ and leave the baked goods out of it.”
Guy 1: I want to be a midwife.
Guy 2: Uh… dude… you have to be a girl to be a midwife.
Guy 1: Ohhh… yeah. I’d be a midhusband.
Girl: “I’m all about cute little old men.”
Girl 1: “While watching the music video for “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha) She looks really familiar.
Girl 2: Yeah.
Girl 1: You know, she looks like Taylor Swift on drugs.
Girl 2: Hmmm… no, she kinda looks like Ashley Tisdale. If Taylor Swift and Ashley Tisdale could have a baby…

Lower Education
So, even though we're in an establishment of higher education, we don't necessarily belong there. Common sense is something you have to learn on your own. The school of hard knocks doesn't have a graduation date.
Live long and prosper. And for goodness sake, think before you speak. You never know who's listening.

...I didn't catch dialogical until the second time around.
And the last line freaked me out. A bit.
now that's good. funny. witty.
ha. I know who girl two is in that last quote....I also know who girl one is but that's kinda obvious....you do know that Ke$ha got a 36 on her ACTs
People can be so stupid....most of the stuff on those tests is logic questions, you'd think if they were that stupid, they wouldn't be getting such high markings.
hehe. I say stuff like that on purpose when I know ppl are listening...
