responsible idiots

yang's joke of the week (as related by his mum)

one day while watching tv -
father: that is an ex-RI boy.
yang: what is RI?
mother: that was the secondary school that your father attended.
yang: what does it stand for?
Before the parents have a chance to reply,
yang: does it stand for Responsible Idiots?

the mother thought the description was quite apt as the Institution is known to churn out Public Administrators.

btw, yang is a 9-year-old boy.

I told the above to my boss cos I thought it was likely that he's an R.I. boy. He didnt seem very amused.
