$1000 per week for beer? it’s no wonder Larry’s brain is seriously addled!

That explains why Larry doesn’t live in the Eeta Eeta Zeeba house. Up to now I just figured it was because he had a wife and son. But his folks provided him with $208,000 for a four year education at Stanford (that is if Larry somehow managed to make it only four years) By his poor intlligence he clearly didn’t graduate so that would have been at least four years wasted. But was he this stupid when he entered college or did he fall in with the wrong crowd?

I told my parents to just start me a savings account and put money in it for investment purposes instead of sending me to college, after four years, they could quit making deposits, and I could use the funds for investing in start-up companies – the idea didn’t go over well.
My parents had a chance in 1975 to buy Apple stock – they passed on it. One of my teachers was married to a mid-level Apple executive at the time, and I overheard the conversation about investing in Apple. My parents could have been rich ….. sigh – oh well….

The#1BoiseStateFan over 12 years ago
No wonder if he tried for Stanford, he’d be kicked out in the first minute

Just because he’s incredibly stupid does not mean he didn’t graduate from college.
Ermine Notyours over 12 years ago
What’s the “born on” date on those beers? Or does he keep empty cans stacked neatly in his closet?
Defective Premium Member over 12 years ago
Larry’s dad isn’t all there, either, if he didn’t know his son was a complete imbecile.
Tue Elung-Jensen over 12 years ago
He should have dropped his pipe :)
Sherlock Watson over 12 years ago
For those of you who really need to matriculate, make sure you alternate hands so you don’t build up muscles in just one of them.
daphne343 over 12 years ago
And that is why he should’ve gone to college, with a decent job he could afford GOOD beer instead of that generic stuff he has in his closet. Ewww . . .
