    Until around 1900, a typical mother hoped that her daughter would be lucky enough to marry a high-school graduate. And about the frog: when the last one croaks or doesn’t croak, they’ll be extinct.

    How about recent presidents who went to college and it didn’t do a thing for them. If it hadn’t been for “pull,” they never would have gotten in in the first place.

    Before the “Smart Alecks” chime in wondering where Harry Truman is…well, he attended Law School and withdrew.

    An American friend of mine said “Our problems began when we stopped electing farmers and started electing lawyers”.

    Our current president went to college, and that’s the ONLY thing he’s ever done—getting his head indoctrinated with foolish nonsense.

    How the times have changed. You’re telling me that Ol’ Abe was able to practice law and be a lawyer without a degree. Amazing.

    This list is incomplete. Harry Truman did not go to college.

    I would think that the reason those frogs are endangered is because they croak too often

    @towerwarlock,

    No one remembers Obama? Your ignorance is amazing. He was the president of the prestigeous Harvard Law Review.

    You must have him confused with Bush who cannot find one person to verify that he actually served his National Guard duty time in Alabama.

    I used to go to the local University – to deliver pizzas. Does that count?

    A degree never did me any good. Heck, I have 3! Accounting,General Clerical, and Data Processing! But most employers want experiance. I’ve cleaned rest rooms how much schooling do you need for that?

    God bless all our presidents. We don’t like some of the things they do or say, but let’s support them anyway. When they croak, big biographies and movies are made about them.
