Good day to you all

Gavin-h provoked my rather twisted mind with a comment on pedantry in another thread and then after the idea had curdled for a moment.

What other courses you would have liked to have taken at school, college or university. Here is mine:-

Applied Pedantry

Well, I got kicked out of Metaphor University and ended up at Cliche College instead

That's where I took my course in Advanced Dossing on the Sofa

I think 'Advanced Lurking' would have been an interesting cirriculum perhaps with a minor in 'Mopery'.

Drinking for profit would be a great paper to take, a requirement for most university students. It would save me a lot of money on my student loan, allowing me to spend more on stamps.

I wish there was a Photo 3 & 4 course at my school. Now I can only use the darkroom after school once a week.

I would love to do some languages. But after I finish my degree, I won't have any spare HECS

A Tautology course in the Department of Redundancy Department may have been too repetitious.

Vote O'Bama! Vote ALL criminal illegal aliens!

To quote a classic line from Blackadder: "I have a degree from the University of Life, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks, and several gold stars from the kindergarten of having the *%&$ kicked out of you."

Tolerance!

I'll give you a primer in that one. Do it with a smile on your face. Most people are too dumb to realise

A course in procastrination would be nice. I may take one in a few years, or maybe not.

I love these answers.
Having taught about 20 different classes in 5 universities.
I love the "how women make sense" class could have been the best.

If it erupts, don't blame me!!

1/ Practical Chundering finger painting
2/ Advanced farting in public
3/ Blaming someone else for farting in public
4/ How to always pass a urine test

Courses I'd like everybody else to take:

How to drive a car without killing everybody else.
Why letting the call go voicemail is empowering.
It's not OK to chuck a tanty in the lolly aisle, you're 17 grow up.
Learn to accept "No", learn to say "sorry", learn to wait.



More courses for me:

How to answer "Does my bum look big in this?" and not spend a week in the dog house.
Does picking my nose in the car really make me a bad person? Or was Seinfeld just neurotic?
ADD, ADHD, ASD, Special, or just plain nuts. If everyone else is mad, why am I the only one without a white coat?
How to use a tazer and not leave a mark.

Blackadder has a MSc. in Electrical Engineering from The Queen's College, Oxford.

I, of course, knew that even the postage on the letters requesting the brochures/admissions information from any of the Oxbridge Colleges would have been a waste of money, given my academic skills and likely A-Level results.

I would have, however, liked to have studied A-Level Mathematics in secondary school. It would have given me more choices at University before becoming unsuccessful in the stamp business.

Kindest regards, Richard

I like your items 2 and 3.

The solution to item 2 is not to sit on a wooden chair, always an upholstered seat.

The solution to item 3 is to be able to maintain a look of absolute indignation without laughing/turning red.

My favorite French philosopher, René Descartes, came up with one of my favorite lines. (translated into English)

"I fart, therefore I am."

Former colleges have occasionally accused me of spending too much time proving my own existence.

Kindest regards, Richard
