Ignorant stick[edit]

"He has a Masters degree in the ignorant stick". Send to BJAODN. Andy Saunders 01:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't find this article funny, but don't you wish you could speedy normal nonsense, as you can only speedy patent nonsense? SYCTHOS ^talk 02:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. 451 Google hits on "ignorant stick", most of them with punctuation between (e.g. "You're ignorant, stick to the facts"). Some appear to involve a simplified spelling of the Yiddish "shtick". Most of the actual references to "ignorant stick" appear to be as a metaphorical blunt object to punish ignorant people. I didn't look through every single reference, but I didn't find any clear support for the shovel theory. Kestenbaum 02:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have to be missing half a brain to find this one amusing. Delete. --Agamemnon2 08:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's sort of "meta-amusing", I guess. Non-sequiturs amuse me, I admit, but people who take the time to put this stuff up on Wikipedia amuse me even more. StarryEyes 14:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
