    I have no idea where my high school or undergraduate diplomas are or
    if I still have them - but my masters diploma is on the wall about 4'
    from my monitor (it's about 20% bigger than my computer monitor and
    one year my wife splurged on the super snazzy diploma frame and gave
    me a heck of a surprise when I saw it hung on the wall above my
    computer some years ago. I've got a similar diploma from an
    international sports organization - but that's as a referee not a
    player - and another framed letter from our mayor which they sent me
    when they heard about that award)

    On the other hand I've attended my 50 year high school reunion and
    they didn't throw me out ...

    I recall my grade school graduation and we all marched up on stage to get handed our diplomas and the librarian was standing behind the curtain and
    said that I didn?t get a diploma because I had unpaid library fines. So I
    got the folder, but it was empty. It turned out there were no unpaid
    library fines. The guy was just a worthless lying sack of pig shit. I have
    no idea what his problem with me was. I have no idea if they ever sent it
    to Mom or not.

    They probably took it out to the desert and lit it on fire along with your mother's ballot.

    That?s what they should?ve done with the librarian
