I thought of you guys when I read Dave Barry's article today.

"The first thing you'll notice [after graduation] is that your professors did not go out there [into the real world] with you.  They're not stupid; that's why they're professors.  They've figured out that college is a carefree place where the most serious real problem is finding a legal parking space.  So your professors are going to stay in college until they die.  Even then, they'll go right on teaching classes.  This is called 'tenure.'"
