[Scene: It's a fine sunny day in the forest, and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk.] |
Fox: | ``What are you working on?'' |
Rabbit: | ``My thesis.'' |
Fox: | ``Hmm. What is it about?'' |
Rabbit: | ``Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes.'' (Incredulous pause) |
Fox: | ``That's rediculous! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes!'' |
Rabbit: | ``Sure they do, and I can prove it. Come with me!'' |
[They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After a few minutes, the rabbit returns, alone, to his typewriter and resumes typing. Soon, a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.] |
Wolf: | ``What's that you're writing?'' |
Rabbit: | ``I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves.'' (Loud guffaws) |
Wolf: | ``You don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?'' |
Rabbit: | ``No problem. Do you want to see why?'' |
[The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow, and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.] |
[Scene: Inside the rabbit's burrow.
In one corner, there is a pile of fox bones. In another corner, a pile of wolf bones. On the other side of the room a huge lion is belching and picking his teeth. ]

The End
MORAL:
- It doesn't matter what you choose for a thesis subject.
- It doesn't matter what you use for data.
- What does matter is who you have for a thesis advisor.
