““251 Mercer street” I said, “it is in the village,” “I know that” said the driver “are you going to NYU?” “Yes” I said. I was going to give a lecture at Ricky and Eli’s Tuesday evening’s Geometry Seminar and came earlier to have a chance to chat with the guys. “Let me tell you something” the driver said, “I did not finish elementary school, I left in the 6th grade and started working, and everyday I come home and have sex. My friends who finished elementary school have sex 2-3 times a week, tops. And , you know,” continued the driver “those who went on to finish high school, they have sex maybe once a week, no more.” “I see,” I said. “Some people” continued the driver “go to college and they get a degree, BA or BSc or something like this.” he paused and continued ”these people have sex once a month at best!”

 

I could see where this was heading.  “Some people go to graduate school, if they are lucky they leave after one year with a master’s degree,” (I was impressed by my taxi driver’s knowledge of the academic system), “they may still have sex a few times a year, but those who stay there longer, my friend,” the driver said in a screamy cheerful voice ”I don’t even want to think about them.”

 

We reached NYU and before I left the driver asked, “and you mister, you look educated, what academic degree do you have?”

 

I looked him straight in the eyes and said “I have a B. Sc”.” source...
