A museum

Unfortunately it didn't work out because I wasn't committed. :(

It was insane

We could call them “psychopaths”

In fact, they're banking on it

Those guys really make bank.

We could call them psychopaths.

It's a Pride Parade.

It’s their fall meeting.

...I heard that was a great school."

My wife groaned the rest of the drive to her parents house. Also, I'm not a dad but I think I'm ready.

A foyer college.

...it was the worst dada breach in its history.

Coworker A: “... then I was at the Helen Keller Institute.” Me: “The Helen Keller Institute? I’ve never seen or heard of it.” Coworker B: “That was horrible.” Me: “but necessary”

my dad asked, "Why do they have the lights on in there? "

These two guys from Canada founded a new college. They called it The Canada Institution. The first guy says to the second guy, "We need to think of a shorter name, can you think of one?" The second guy says, "I don't know, Can I?"

The problem, however, is that there isn't enough light for the immigrants to find their way back to Mexico. Because of this, the Don institutes his "Early Light" plan in order to give the immigrants a way to see. One immigrant, Jose, is partially blind, so they are wondering if the "Early Light" program will still allow him to see. The ask him: Jose can you see by the Don's "Early Light."

I said, "It's a financial institution licensed to receive deposits and make loans."

You know, in case we get lost at sea.

So I'm discussing with my dad what I want to study this fall. I let him know that I like working with people in one way or another.

Me: In the end I think I stand between socionomy and sociology. If I study socionomy, I'll learn about social services and laws related to devolpment of society. If I study sociology, I'll learn about various social behaviour, relations and institutions.

Dad: How about studying sociopathy? Then you'd be great at annoying people!

Me: Have you ever thought about committing a murder?

Her: Yes! glares

Me: But don't you think it would be hard to get a mental institution to accept a group of crows?
