A great degree

[indulekhadasi]

There once was a big meeting in a big hall in India. People had to be highly educated Phds to attend. This one man wanted to attend but he had not been able to recieve his Phd. But he was determined to attend the meeting. He went to the hall were the meeting was to take place. Right in front of the entry door was a guard. He asked each and every one of people wishing to enter, "What is your qualification?" and each and every one of them would say, " I am a Phd in electrical engineering, or chemical engineering, or physics etc." Only then would they be allowed through.

Our man's turn finally came. The guard said, "What is your qualification?" The man proudly said, " I am a Phd. af." The guard was impressed and let him through.

Later a man who had overheard his title asked our man, "What does Phd. af stand for?" Our man replied, "Phd. attempted but failed."
