Old thread, but... what the hell...
I'm certainly not against "light teasing"... BUT I can't fault Charlie on the passive-aggressiveness of "ignoring" it either.
In my own experience, a friend of mine was getting the teasing over his choice of Philosophy as a major, and the question was posed in a more collective tone, "...open a philosophy store?"
To whit, before my friend had a response, I shrugged, and retorted, "No, but Bartending is a three-week course, and yields an average $40/hr, right up the road at a place where I know the owner... Philosophy helps with the general attitudes and therapy people want but refuse to pay for, so I'm figuring as an informal therapist at the last bastion of legal drug abuse, I'll pull an easy 120K a year... How's your Art History Major???"
AND my friend (the ACTUAL Philosophy major was nearly on the floor laughing so hard)... While the Art History Major stammered a few seconds, turned brilliant shades of red and then evacuated the conversation. ;o)
