As I recall my library science degree is a MSLS.

Had to look at my tag and my business card. Neither have degrees. Didn't
even put it in my article, "Operation Iraq Liberation."

I also hold a J.D. [pettifogging], a M.D.[malpractice], a DVM [bestiality]
and a PhD[reckless spending] from Fergle University.
You got a degree and T-shirt for $15 and sweatshirt for $20.
Seem to have gone out of business. Probably because, anyone can print out a
degree these days.

Luckily, none of my supervisors have posted their diplomas and forced me
into a diploma race.

Between the above and my 'been theres' from the army and years as a
faceless bureaucrat, I could paper a wall.

I like attorneys having diplomas on their wall. I complete a several hour
project and have a couple of hundred sheets at the end, I'm not going to
trust it to the interoffice, I'm going to put it somebody's hands or in a
chair.

A name on a diploma proves that you have found the third office on the
right, not counting the supply room.
