>THE RABBIT'S THESIS:

>

>One sunny day a rabbit came out of her hole in the ground to enjoy the

>fine

>weather. The day was so nice that she became careless and a fox snuck up

>behind her and caught her.

>

>"I am going to eat you for lunch!", said the fox.

>

>"Wait!", replied the rabbit, "You should at least wait a few days."

>

>"Oh yeah? Why should I wait?"

>

>"Well, I am just finishing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits over

>Foxes and Wolves.'"

>

>"Are you crazy? I should eat you right now! Everybody knows that a fox

>will

>always win over a rabbit."

>

>"Not really, not according to my research. If you like, you can come into

>my

>hole and read it for yourself. If you are not convinced, you can go

>ahead

>and have me for lunch."

>

>"You really are crazy!" But since the fox was curious and had nothing to

>lose, it went with the rabbit. The fox never came out.

>

>A few days later the rabbit was again taking a break from writing and

>sure

>enough, a wolf came out of the bushes and was ready to set upon her.

>

>"Wait!" yelled the rabbit, "you can't eat me right now."

>

>"And why might that be, my furry appetizer?"

>

>"I am almost finished writing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits

>over

>Foxes and Wolves.'"

>

>The wolf laughed so hard that it almost lost its grip on the rabbit.

>"Maybe

>I shouldn't eat you; you really are sick ... in the head. You might have

>something contagious."

>

>"Come and read it for yourself; you can eat me afterward if you disagree

>with my conclusions."

>

>So the wolf went down into the rabbit's hole ... and never came out.

>

>The rabbit finished her thesis and was out celebrating in the local

>lettuce

>patch. Another rabbit came along and asked, "What's up? You seem very

>happy."

>

>"Yup, I just finished my thesis."

>

>"Congratulations. What's it about?"

>

>"'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"

>

>"Are you sure? That doesn't sound right."

>

>"Oh yes. Come and read it for yourself." So together they went down into

>the rabbit's hole.

>

>As they entered, the friend saw the typical graduate abode, albeit a

>rather

>messy one after writing a thesis. The computer with the controversial

>work

>was in one corner. And to the right there was a pile of fox bones, on

>the

>left a pile of wolf bones. And in the middle was a large, well-fed lion.

> The moral of the story:

>

> The title of your thesis doesn't matter.

> The subject doesn't matter.

> The research doesn't matter.

> All that matters is who your advisor is.
