Where Personal and Professional Life Collide...

And I already have no brain left, after one day.  Oops.

And I still have a shitload to do tonight, both GISHy and work-related, so I'm going to inflict upon you a punny that requires a certain level of multi-denominational as well as fannish knowledge, but amuses the ever-loving fuck out of me, so I’m going to share anyway.
 

When I, I Jew, meet a Muslim friend, I say shalom, and they in turn say to me, salaam. At which point our Eastern Orthodox friend cries out, “now kiss!”

(I crack me up.)

"We are thrilled to announce that because of your hard work, artistry, lack of shame, and selfless community devotion, you have been singled out for the most prestigious honor we at Gishwhes have the power to bestow on an individual: a Doctorate* of Gishology.

Simply put, this degree qualifies you as an expert in all things Gishwhes, marks you as an individual unfit for living in the mundane realm of normalcy and distinguishes you as someone of extreme and meritorious weirdness for whom the world is a playground of limitless possibility.

*This Doctorate in no way qualifies you to do or be anything other than your own incredibly weird, kind and abnosome self... which is all you need in life for happiness, success and bountiful kale harvests."
