If pilgrims traveled on the Mayflower, what do college students travel on?
Scholar-ships.
A college physics professor was explaining a particularly complicated concept to his class when a pre-med student interrupted him. “Why do we have to learn this stuff? ” the frustrated student blurted out. “To save lives,” the professor responded before continuing the lecture. A few minutes later the student spoke up again. “So how does physics save lives? “The professor stared at the student without saying a word. “Physics saves lives,” he finally continued, “because it keeps the idiots out of medical school. “
Mario, the fisherman from Goa, sat on his boat, resting. Suddenly, Mr. Flip walked up to him and asked him how long he spent at sea, what he did after that, and other things.
“Well, me and my mates we go to sea for a few hours each night. Morning we come and our women folk take the fish to the market. We men sleep it out. Then, in the afternoon, we all get together and chat, laughing, dancing, or just being. Evening, we get home and it is time to set off again.
“Really? You could earn so much more!” Flip was visibly agitated.
“And then what would we do?”
“Well, you would get more money, build better houses, live more comfortably.”
“And then, what would we do?”
“You would get surplus money which you would save and invest in bonds, and all of you could get so rich! By putting just 4 more hours per day, you could increase your catch by 50%!”
“And then, what would we do?”
“As you earn more and put your money in bonds, that money will earn for you. Then you can sit back, chill, and relax.”
“What do you think I am doing now?” Mario chuckled and went right back to his nap.
