The problem with trying to put yourself at the top of the pecking order is that someone will always top you.
Or as Brian Regan put it:
And just remember, what may be impressive for one person may be insulting to another (sorry I can't embed the video, just click here).
I wonder why being a rocket scientist happens to sound to the public so impressive. I mean, I'm sure rocket science is incredibly complex but is it really more complex than the human brain?
ReplyDeleteNow rocket surgery! That would be impressive.
ReplyDeleteOh, common Joe, it's because rocket science is rocket science!
ReplyDelete3 things:
ReplyDelete1. rocket science is impressive because it combines the best of physics, math, and engineering into possibly the most exciting field in the history of humankind! (of course I'm not biased, I don't know what you're talking about).
2. I LOVE Brian Regan. My favorite comedian of all time.
3. I'm a rocket scientist - neener neener!! In fact, in a few short years, I'll be a doctor of rocket science! Booya!!
::steps down since I have no doubt each one of you are smarter than me, published more than me, know more math than me, and could probably top me in just about anything::
Oh yeah, I will also add that my dept. sells these pretty sweet t-shirts that say on the back "Why yes, I am a rocket scientist." It's one of the big perks of being in aerospace!
