There was a guy running a small retail store in the mall who was a TSUN alum. When he saw my Ohio State shirt, he made some comment about the fact that an Ohio State degree "didn't begin to compare with the bar we had to clear at Michigan" and then proceeded to tell me that he had done badly on the GMAT and wasn't accepted at UNC's Kenan-Flagler business school.
I replied, "Isn't it strange how life gives us evidence of truth? Here we are, years after graduating from rival universities. You, a Michigan grad, sit in this tiny store counting your pennies and dreaming of completing your MBA. I, an Ohio State grad who flunked out his first year, stand here a PhD and full visiting professor at the very school that deemed you were not bright enough to be admitted to a Masters degree."
