Higher Is Not Necessarily Up There

 

Universities of Higher Education are having a hard time of late. Fella’s opinion is that in most cases they have deserved the hard times that they have been having, however, that is not the purpose of this Blog Posting.

************

Fella usually deals in specifics and today will prove to be no exception to that usual dealing position of mine.

Any University of Higher Education that can’t handle Basic Arithmetic ought not be referred to as “higher”. It is insulting to anyone who has gone past the fifth grade to treat these institutions as if they were smart.

Some of My Dear Readers know that I can see in my mind’s eye (whatever that is) the facial expressions on the faces of those who are reading my Blog. At this moment I can see there are 8 of you who think I do not know what the heck of which I speak.

I have been publishing this Blog since right after the turn of the century and I must say I am a bit taken aback that there are so many who doubt me. Eight used to be Enough back in the early days of television but, to Fella’s way of thinking, 8 is a lot when it comes to readers of my Blog doubting me. After all, have I not demonstrated over and over year after year that I am a Smart Fella?

Ø Do you agree that if you count on all 10 fingers and thumbs you get to the number 10?

Ø How many football teams are there in the Big 10 Football Conference?

Ø Every one of My Dear Readers knows the answer because the football fans of you know because you are football fans and the non-football fans of you know because you just Googled It.

There Are 14 Football Teams In The Big Ten!

Above I accused these Universities of having a lack of understanding of Arithmetic, however, that is not right, is it? This is not Arithmetic. This is a lack of understanding of Basic Numbers. Sister Mary Berchman would have taken her Hand Whacking Ruler to the lot of them for sure!


Would I kid u?
