Hello! I don’t know if this has been shared before, but I found it amusing. From David Foster Wallace’s The Broom of the System:
“John, the oldest, hadn’t gone to college as such, he had a Ph.D. from U. Chicago, he had in junior high proved certainly hitherto unprovable things, with a crayon from Lenore’s own crayon box, on a Batman writing tablet, and had shocked hell out of everyone,and had gotten a Ph.D. a few years later without really going to any classes.
This was the one who was now not well.”
I know at least one person who will enjoy this.
