Big deal. I go to Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Princeton all at once. Plus I go to MTI, ITT, and Brigham Young. As we speak I am writing my thesis on extinct Native American languages, finalizing a theory on astrophysics, preparing a delicious creme brulee, and praising Jesus while declaring evolution a lie. Try and catch up.
Strayer University is harassing David with phone calls trying to solicit(sell) their school. David replies “guess which university I am not going to?” meaning that he isn’t going to go to Strayer, after all, they are harassing him.
Elijah responds “Harvard”, which is an elite school that only a select few get into, meaning that most likely David will not be going to Harvard, as he is not rich/elite/smart enough to get accepted. This is a hearty guffaw made at David’s expensive.
David responds “……yes”, accepting the jest at his expense and revealing that Elijah was successful in turning his sarcastic remark around on it’s head and making David feel foolish in the process. David could have responded “Oh, you got me there”, or something like that, but he decided to conceal his emotional moment internet silence followed by a simple admission to the correct assessment made by Elijah.
Now that you understand the joke, join me in a hearty guffaw, and let’s go out an enjoy our lives, now made slightly brighter by the humorous comments made by David and Elijah as well as the unknown submitter who allowed us to read and partake in this embarrassing exchange.
Obviously not, since he used the wrong “its.” You people are much too easily impressed. I’M going to Harvard and what was written by Mr. Cobalt up there is rudimentary stuff.
Capitalizing isolated words is often used as stress in media where italics are not available. One can also highlight a word with ** or __, but when you’re using a two-letter contraction, the extra punctuation can be distracting.
If you’re still confused, consider the difference between these sentences when spoken aloud:
I’M going to Harvard.
I’m going to HARVARD.
The first, with the stress on “I’m,” conveys a difference between the speaker and some previous reference. The second, with the stress on the name of the school, conveys a difference between the school and some previous reference… imagine that the previous speaker had said “I’m going to Stanford.”
I got the joke the first time, but one thing is left out to clear for me: why would Strayer University be selling themselves to David? Maybe I misread, but that’s what I got from your explanation.
I would explain to you how universities are basically big business’s that advertise to new high school grads as badly as any best buy or Mcdonald’s ect… but I would rather show your in interpretive dance.
*swoon, dip, dive, tip toe, tip toe, graceful leap, t-bag…* I hope that has answered your question.
Pssh, I graduated from high school over 2 years ago and STILL occasionally get mail from colleges trying to get me to go there. Yeah, uh…I’m already in college…working on year 3…
They spend an awful lot of time trying to solicit students, though I can’t say that I remember ever getting that many phone calls from the same school (thank goodness).
It never ends. I am four, five, or six years out of grad school (depending on whether you count from when I finished going to class, when I completed all my other work, or the year on my actual diploma), and half my Facebook ads want me to know about all the schools that I can get my degree ONLINE from HOME. Including some otherwise respectable universities.
Look who’s talking names………….Dy? what, are you taking the derivative of y = I don’t care? (yeah, it’s a calculus joke. get over it) I can tell you what dy (that is the proper notation; the d replaces the LOWERCASE Greek letter delta, so it is lowercase) is right now: 0. Why is that, you may ask? Well for those of you who are not familiar with basic calculus, the derivative is the instantaneous rate of change, and because the function “I don’t care” is constant, it never changes (the word never eliminates the need for stating that it is instantaneous), so it is 0.
Some people obviously never heard of material derivative…. which besides the time derivative contains a divergence, which is spatial and nonzero, since there are things one doesn’t care of, and things one doesn’t give a about so the vector field is not constant…
Heh, nice one.
Hangs up phone for the 4th time..says to secretary O well we will find another candidate for our Free scholarship…
DAMMIT! Why didn’t they leave me a voi – oh wait, they did…………
Owned lmao!
Well of course not.
I go to Harvard.
everyone does, on the internet
You’re a dog, too?

mmm creme brulee
… I go to junior high.
Umm..sorry not too smart today. I do not get it.

WIN!!!!
tl;dr
You went to Harvard didn’t you……
Obviously not, since he used the wrong “its.” You people are much too easily impressed. I’M going to Harvard and what was written by Mr. Cobalt up there is rudimentary stuff.
Well then, sir, tell me the answer to this: If two wrongs don’t make a right, what do two trolls make? (don’t be literal)
baby trolls:)
YOU should go to Harvard!
lmao! this whole post made my day.
WIN of the week (Since today is 21 and I don’t want to be corrected, it won’t be of the day, but of the week)
A Grammar Nazi
You’re writing the “m” in I am as a capital.
Way to go harvard….

Go one, be honest. You went to Oxford really, didn’t you?
That was brilliant.
i think i love you!!!
Awesome explanation!
Better than the actual joke! XD
I…think I love you. XD

You, sir, are amazing.

man, you should get a job doing the play by play for all esoteric fails.
You left out minority…
Thanks for thinking my post is funny.
not phunny. i am funier tan tis. ridikelus
Your sense of humor is transcended only by your ability to spell.
I agree, and also think your name should be changed to, “Better than some,” or, “Better than a few”.

Nope. You got it wrong. He is taking the derivative of y = shut the f**K up

You sir, I’m afraid, do not qualify for Harvard.
Who cares?
win.
No I don’t.
Lol
i 1 2 (1/2) 6
I read this as “Slayer University” lol \m/
