    Similarly, don’t expect much help with history questions in pub quiz from someone with a history degree.

    “You have a whole ass degree, why can’t you tell me when Garfield was president!!?!?!??”

    “It’s not like that … my thesis was on medieval crop rotation “

      But if you need a watershed modeled I’m your guy.
