Half the PhD's I know couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the
instructions were written on the heel. All it takes is a few faculty
meetings to realize that there is no correlation between having a
PhD and having:

a. a brain;
b. the sense that God gave geese;
c. a life.

However, if the person in question is an MLA member, the uncertainty
is considerably reduced.

Finally, I propose that we make Kelly the official intellectual of
this list. Anyone who can casually bring Julian of Norwich into the
discussion must surely be worthy.;-)
