Student vs. Stock Broker Deciding to take a day off from his important job, a young hot-shot broker went back to visit some of his professors at his old school. Entering the school, he saw a dog attacking a small child. He quickly jumped on the dog and strangled it.

The broker called the editor of the paper and strongly suggested that a correction be issued, pointing out that he was no longer a student, but a successful Wall Street broker. The following day, the paper issued a correction, with a headline that read, "Pompous Stock Broker Kills School Mascot." Print | Comment | Tweet It | Facebook It

Engineers rule the world until the next revision. 2. If you like junk food, caffeine, and all-nighters, then you should go into architecture. 1. Dilbert is a documentary.
