Today, the electrician came because our kitchen light has been flickering. After examining the installation, he screws the lightbulb tighter in the socket. My parents both are PhDs. FML

A PhD doesn't make you an expert in lightbulb matters.

Wouldn't that be a PbD? Permanent head damage would make more sense.

I can't believe no one has said "That's what she said!" yet. Makes me wonder what's wrong with the world.

FYL because it sucks your parents are so dumb, and YDI because you yourself could have done it.

Your life isn't ****** unless you're saying you're just as stupid as your parents. Also, having a PhD doesn't mean you're smart, just intelligent.

How many people with a PhD does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Apparently more than 2.

A PhD just means you're a specialist in a certain academic subject. It does not imply that you possess an iota of sense. You'd also be surprised at how many PhDs know next to nothing about fields other than their own. Getting a PhD involves spending several years in graduate school, where you study a fairly narrow field and later spend your time doing research in a highly specialized aspect of said narrow field. At the end, you know everything about the history of Russia from the coronation of Ivan the Terrible to the execution of Nicolas II, but can't add fractions without resorting to a calculator.
