Scene: It'a a fine sunny day in the forest, and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out of walk. Fox: "What are you working on?" Rabbit: "My thesis." Fox: "Hmm. What is it about?" Rabbit: "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbit eat foxes." (incredulous pause) Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool know that rabbits don't eat foxes!" Rabbit: "Come with me and I'll show you!" They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After a few minutes, gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit returns to his typewriter and resumes typing. Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit. Wolf: " What's that you are writing?" Rabbit: " I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eats wolves." (loud guffaws) Wolf: " you don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?" Rabbit: " No problem. Do you want to see why?" The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow, and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing. Finally a bear comes along and asks, "What are you doing? Rabbit: " I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eats bears." Bear: "Well that's absurd! Rabbit: "Come into my home and I'll show you" As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces the bear to the lion. Moral: IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SILLY YOUR THESIS TOPIC IS WHAT MATTERS IS WHO YOU HAVE FOR A THESIS ADVISOR.
