Who Says Academics Have No Sense Of Humor?

I've long since left the world of academia for the grasping world of private enterprise. However, there are a few things that I still miss from those days ... mostly, the good-natured eye-poking of cherished philosophies and self-important thinkers.

A post by Brad over at Skull-Crushing For Great Justice reminded me of an old chestnut. See the attached cartoon. I have no idea who the artist is, but I had a good chuckle back in the day.

I guess its an academia thing, but I loved the last one: Foucault Flakes.

"A literary tour-de-force:" the cartoon proclaims, "Breakfast as Text!"

"But it's empty."

"But of course."

"It's French, it must be good."

Sorry, probably lost in translation.
