Sigh

Gas Class: 1927

Just gave another culinary research lecture, the mental equivalent of slamming my head in a file cabinet drawer.

Me: "We want you to be able to research food and methods to better your expertise in the field. What do you hope to do with your degree once you graduate."

Student: "I want to open a flower or cell phone business."

Me: "F-l-o-u-r? Meaning distributing to restaurants and bakeries?"

Student: "No. Like roses."

Me: "Neither of those business require a degree in cooking. Why are you attending this program?"

Student: "I don't know. I'm only 20 years old."

It went downhill fast from there.......
