Which do you think is more beneficial to American society in general: a farmer with a high school degree who farms acres and acres of grain, or a professor of African Studies at Princeton who writes books on social issues?

Me? I'm going with the farmer.

Wow, Jpotts, that's great, you usually go for big money. Maybe hope for you.

is there a cow on this farm..??

What Drafter asked. Is the farmer married?

Wait...is the farmer fat?

Books are the food for the brain. I will have to go with the professor of African study.

A farmer would be more important in less civilized age.

No he's just 'goin' with Jpotts.

^ prolly ugly too...

Candlestick maker.

2: lol, good point there. As far as the OP, the question is ridiculous. Both are valuable to society, as are homemakers who take care of children, nurses, firemen, etc. We are all human beings after all.

If it was American History or something then yeah but African Studies... might as well be a film teacher!

Why buy the milk when you can get the cow for free?

No wait, I can look up a butchers' ass but I'd rather take his word over the bull's, no, that's not right either...

What was the question again?

Oh yeah, I'll go with the guy who can give me his educated opinion on life over my staying alive.

Yeah, cause Africa is of no import whatsoever to this country. [rolls eyes, bangs head on desk, drives pencil through eye, feels relief]

Huh?

I don't hate on Africa!

Just the liberal African studies professor!

Ok, clarifications:

1) The farmer is married.

2) There are no cows on the farm. However, a portion of the grain will be fed to cows.

3) The farmer is not fat.

4) The hampster is fat, but will not be fed to any cows.

5) No, the farmer doesn't fertilze his fields with Cousin_Eddie.

6) No, the professor of African Studies does not have a Sociology degree. He has a Art Appreciation degree (which is far more useful).

Is the professor...(lowers voice...looks both ways)..you know...one of "them"?

Does the farmer have a daughter?

why does the farmer hate cows..??

Is the professor fluent in ebonics?

Is the farmer?
