Message Replied To ==========
So in this season of Thanksgiving I think we all should be thankful for
AUBIGJOE's mother, our beloved grandmother. When BIGJOE was considering colleges (he graduated high school at age 16 in 1945) he wanted to go to the University of Alabama and become a lawyer.
She would not let him and made him go to Auburn and study engineering.
What is frightening is that if the multiverse theory of reality is true then there is an UABIGJOE out there somewhere, probably in that particular multiverse where John Smith was Reichsmarshall of North America. And he has 7 kids; all of them lawyers or married to lawyers except for the patently unreasonable engineer of a son. Who is annoyed by Shug's Boy.
==============================
because "Alabama was a party school without morals and they teach no useful skills"
That was in 1948. Some things never change.
