Another comic from Phd comics…

Finally an explanation why the jokes I find funny almost no one gets. We were a funny bunch in grad school, but that humor just doesn’t work outside chemistry graduate school. So now in social situations, I don’t tell jokes. No, alcohol doesn’t help. In fact, I can speak even more coherently about chemistry with several drinks. I do have my limit though. Coherent, then sick. So it goes.

While I find this graphic hysterical, I’m sure that anyone who hasn’t been to graduate school doesn’t get it. That’s what an advanced degree will get you…confused stares and people thinking “dork!” or worse:  saying it aloud.
