Ph.D. Selling a Donkey

The Chinese have been granting Ph.D. degrees thousands of years before the universities in Europe.

Here is a story from the history book, poking fun at them.

Once upon a time, a man wishing to sell his donkey ask a Ph.D. to write a 'For Sale sign' to take to the market.

After three pages of composition, the word 'donkey' has yet to appear.

The man was disappointed.
