Why my dad is hilarious:
we recently had a conversation that went like this:
dad: "maybe you should write your dissertation on something you enjoy, like microbrewed beer. just make it health policy-related."
me: "what, like how underage drinking kills kids? that would be a little depressing, and it's not really my area..."
dad: "no, like how drinking good beer benefits society. a study of how people who drink good beer end up healthier and happier or something."
me: "oh. well, maybe i could do a comparative study looking at lifetime health care spending for people who drink good craft beer, people who drink shitty mass-produced beer, and non-drinkers."
dad: "exactly! everyone would be interested in the outcomes of that study. haha.
...no, seriously - maybe you should really do that for your dissertation."
