The sequels were rubbish, but the first one was OK. But that also explains why you're not in on the joke.

Re-reading a lot of sentences lately, and this one can be explained two-fold too; "she did not understand it" vs. "she did not fetch it".
If the dude assumed the latter, you'd be coming across as impatient.

Yup, he did assume the latter meaning. Which is kind of the second wasted opportunity.

None of your spoons are belong to us!
Also, been there done that, the pain (and awkwardness) of a great joke wasted on the wrong public

I had to google it to get it too.
Maybe that'll be one of the benefits of cyber-devices: understanding other people's humor.

be joy and reveling. I graduated this past weekend, so my PhD is now official according to the degrees conferred listing.
So, I'm now out of The University for the first time since 1968.
Now what?

Gratz!!
There's more people on the site who aren't good at English and abbreviated titles; a Doctor of Philosophy? Is the PE also a doctor title?
You're now a double-doctor then?

I lost my PE license after the stroke, it expired while I was in the hospital, but I went through the whole process again, so I can go back to offering Engineering services.

Actually, I make a lot more money doing Engineering, than I do on software, but the software is more funner and I quite often have to write software to get the engineering tasks done.

I made the misdtakeof not clarifying things. I had to do an evaluation of a field with 1,200 wells. I asked if the data was available digitally and the reply was Yes, so I asked for the data and I got 1200 excel spreadsheet, one for each well. Fortunately, I used my Excel macro-Fu to extract the interesting parts ans constructed the needed summaries.
In another case I had to evaluate a field with 300 reservoirs and the contract SAID I HAD TO WRITE A REPORT FOR EACH ONE. sO I ENTERED DATA IN AN eXCEL sPREADSHEET, THEN USED A wORD MAIL MERGW TO GENERATE 300 BOILERPLATE REPORTS.

So, how much are the rep points worth? I already found out that with my PhD and $US5, I can get a cup of coffee.

No, not yet. I have a PhD in Petroleum EWngineering and am working on a PhD in Computerr Scvience, so maybe some day, I'm be Dr Doctor. Or maybe I;I'll just decide enough is enough.
