I coached a practice group last night and during the inevitable stretch ‘n share, found out this one dude was getting his doctorate in philosophy. So I asked how many times they had to go before the panel. Which he said is called oral defense. Apparently, it just happens once. At the end. It’s like this whole group of teachers and they ask you this battery of questions. But here’s the best part:
Then they open it up to anybody.
So if you’re in the crowd watching this(which I guess is normally sparsely attended) you can ask them whatever question you want and they have to endeavor to answer it. So this is my suggestion for a cheap date idea. Scour local college publications for a notice of an upcoming oral defense and plan accordingly. You can choose to be supportive or be a jokester and heckle.
I will be submitting more cheap date ideas as they come to me.

It’s true. But who doesn’t like boobs?

Nice idea. Points for originality. I wonder where you can find “what’s playing” in the world of ‘oral defenses’…

That is the best date idea ever. I hope you do it and don’t tell your date where you are going. It’s a good way to weed out the bad seeds.

Squirrels don’t like boobs. Squirrels like nuts.
