I'll eat you for lunch!" said the Fox.
Wait!", replied Rabbit, "You should at least wait a few days. I just finished writing my Ph.D. thesis."
"Hah! That's a stupid excuse. What's the title of your thesis?"
"I'm writing my thesis on the Superiority of the Rabbit over the Fox and the Wolf."
"Are you crazy? I have to eat you right now! Everyone knows that the Fox will always win over the Rabbit."
"Not really, not according to my research. If you want, you can come to my hole and read it for yourself. If you're not sure, you can have lunch with me."
Since the Fox was curious and had nothing to lose, he went with the Rabbit into his hole. The fox never came back. A few days later, Rabbit took a break from writing again, and sure enough, a wolf came out of the bush and was ready to eat him.
"Wait!", shouted the Rabbit, "You can't eat me now."
"And how could that be, you fuzzy appetizers?"
"I'm almost done writing my PhD thesis on the Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves."
The wolf laughed so hard that he almost lost his grip on the Rabbit.
"Come read for yourself, you can eat me after that if you don't agree with my conclusion."
So the Wolf went to the Rabbit's hole and never came out.
Rabbit finished writing his thesis and was celebrating in the lettuce field. Another rabbit came and asked, "What's wrong? You seem very happy."
"Yup, I just finished writing my dissertation."
"Congratulations! About what?"
"It's entitled 'The Advantage of the Rabbit Over the Fox and the Wolf."
"Are you sure? That doesn't sound right."
"Oh yeah, you should come and read for yourself."
So they went together to the Rabbit hole. When they entered, the friend saw a typical graduate student residence, albeit a bit messy after writing a thesis. A computer with a controversial dissertation is in one corner. On the right was a pile of fox bones, on the left was a pile of wolf bones, and in the middle was a lion.
