This funny joke was made funnier by people who just couldn’t get it
Over to @kbnoswag – probably not his real name – on Twitter.
My step dad told me it was pointless to apply to med school bc I was “too stupid to be a doctor”
8 years later and one of us is an unemployed loser with a drinking problem and the other is making six figures and going to Hawaii this weekend to renew his wedding vows with my mom
