Anthropologists Can Too Have a Sense of Humor


By now most of you should know I was an anthropologist. When I left graduate school ABD (all but dissertation) many people expressed sympathy for not being done.

“They didn’t make me check my brains at the door when I left”

That part of my education has stood me in good stead in everything I have done since, to say NOTHING about these two wonderful bits of humor on we Americans.

I will let them speak for themselves

Ralph Linton, 100% American

Horace Miner, Body Ritual Among the Nacirema

ENJOY!!
