(A couple times in my 44 years of ministry I’ve served at the college level.
In 1984-88 I was Dean of a Small College in the Dallas area. 1996-2000 I
was Professor at Pillsbury College in Minnesota. These insights come from
years of careful evaluation)
PRESIDENT – Leaps tall buildings in a single bound. Is more powerful than a
locomotive. Is faster than a speeding bullet. Walks on water. Gives policy
to God.
DEAN – Leaps short buildings in a single bound. Is more powerful than a
switch engine. Is just as fast as a speeding bullet. Talks with God.
DEPARTMENT CHAIR – Leaps short buildings with a running start and favorable
winds. Is almost as powerful as a switch engine. Is faster than a speeding
BB. Walks on water in an indoor swimming pool. Talks with God if a special
request is honored.
PROFESSOR – Barely clears a Quonset hut. Loses tug of war with a locomotive.
Can fire a speeding bullet. Swims well. Is occasionally addressed by God.
ASSOCIATE/ASSISTANT PROFESSOR – Makes high marks on the walls when trying to
leap tall buildings. Is run over by locomotives. Can sometimes handle a gun
without inflicting self-injury. Treads water. Talks to animals.
INSTRUCTOR – Climbs walls continually. Rides the rails. Plays Russian
Roulette. Walks on thin ice. Prays a lot.
GRADUATE ASSISTANT/STUDENT – Runs into buildings. Recognizes locomotives two
out of three times. Is not issued ammunition. Can stay afloat with a life
jacket. Talks to walls.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT – Falls over doorstep when trying to enter buildings.
Says “Look at the choo-choo”. Wets himself with a water pistol. Plays in mud
puddles. Mumbles to himself.
SECRETARY – Lifts buildings and walks under them. Kicks locomotives off the
tracks. Catches speeding bullets in her teeth and eats them. Freezes water
with a single glance. She IS God.
