Why professors are professors

Just stumbled across this hilarious piece by Dave Barry:
A Commencement Address to the College Class of 2004:
This is your big day — the day when you jam four years’ worth of unlaundered underwear into a Hefty bag and leave college, prepared by your professors to go out into the Real World. The first thing you’ll notice is that your professors did not go out there with you. They’re not stupid; that’s why they’re professors. They’ve figured out that college is a carefree place where the most serious real problem is finding a legal parking space. So your professors are going to stay in college until they die. Even then, they’ll go right on teaching classes. This is called ”tenure.”
This guy is absolutely brilliant…
