    For the degree mill book in progress, I saved a very nice analogy which, I am quite confident (which means I may still be wrong) was posted here, explaining the legal difference between buying a jar of pickles and buying a degree.

    I'd love to attribute it (if the person wouldn't mind), but now I can't find it, either by searching here, or on Google. It began:

    “If I buy a jar of pickles, then I own a jar of pickles. If I wanted to, I could call it a jar of diamonds, but that wouldn't make it anything other than pickles."

    Any thoughts? memories? claims?

    Thanks.

    John, take a break - jar of pickles? - it's really not that good.

    Ask Janko for an old Transylvanian guote.

    It definately was posted on this site. I can't, however, remember who posted it.
