I was in a meeting with
a mix of recent Master Degree grads
and ‘experts’ in the field.
It was the most fun I’ve had in years.
The grads would ask questions
using long, complicated words.
The experts would respond back
with one syllable word sentences.
The equally well educated pros
had the hick routine down pat
and
the grads, being extremely intelligent,
quickly got the message.
The experts also
walked them through
the most popular (and rather useless) theories,
sharing why the theories wouldn’t work
in the real world.
We were all pompous asses
when we first graduated.
Be gentle.
