Every one seems to be missing the point.

Why did he get a college refund?

Perhaps a tattoo will help him get laid. I’m sure women might think that way but do they really need to?

When I was growing up in the 60’s and 70’s my mother always stated, “If you see someone who has tattoos, you know they either got them before the were 21 or they’re stupid.”

That always stuck with me, so I never got a tattoo.

But, I’ve also known a lot of very intelligent people who had tattoos. But, I’ll say too, most of them got them before they were 21.

Tattoos are lot more popular and less frowned upon today, than they were back then among the general population.

A college refund check is the money a student receives from their school when their financial aid, scholarships, or other payments exceed the cost of tuition, fees, and other school charges. This excess amount, also called a credit balance, can be sent as a paper check or deposited directly into the student’s bank account. The funds are intended for educational expenses, but students can use them for a variety of needs like rent, books, and living costs.

More proof of the brain development research being on the right track.

“The human brain continues developing into the mid-to-late 20s, with significant maturation of the prefrontal cortex (decision-making area) often cited around age 25, though some research points to processes continuing into the early 30s, with some studies even suggesting full network reorganization by age 32.”

“While physical size is nearly adult by age 6, fine-tuning of neural connections, especially for impulse control and emotional regulation, happens throughout adolescence and young adulthood, making the brain highly adaptable but vulnerable during these years.”
—National Institutes of Health website.

I should add this, reluctantly——

Someone said males remain emotionally at age 9 for a long time as they try to attain emotional maturity and some males don’t achieve it by old age.

The fact he’s afraid to tell his parents about it means deep down he knows it was wrong.

He’s just too selfish to make the right decision.

I heard there was a scene in the Wedding Crashers movie where one of the characters commented on women with “tramp stamps,” to the effect that they are an indicator of sexual promiscuity. According to the account, several women in the audience audibly gasped in surprise.

I guess they didn’t get the memo.

I got one when I was a nineteen year old 101st Air Cav trooper. It was $35 somewhere outside gate 4. I don’t regret it but haven’t had any since.

There was a student I went to school with who spent her Pell Grant on furniture. Oh, and she was on welfare and had Section 8.

'It's alive JIM!, but it F-ING Stupid..."

Unilateral moron'a are To Stupid To Live.

T.S.T.L!
