At work today, a prospective student gave an advisor a chat explaining they googled skydiving school and came up with my University. I am not sure if it's a prank to randomly chat with colleges the most ridiculous degrees imaginable, but this one took the cake. Now, my University is a small, liberal arts school. How they came to ask about skydiving is beyond me.
A coworker, who I will name A., played an awesome prank on the rest of us based on his chat with this skydiving student. He let us know about the student's request, and sent us all a screenshot of the new coursework for skydiving with a list on our website advising it was now available in our Wisconsin campus. Of course, Wisconsin would get the cool courses first!
A little bit later, A. set up a fake chat with one of our newest advisors, who I will call C. Our jokester, A., had a fake chat conversation with C. asking about the skydiving. C., being wonderfully gullible, googled on our website the skydiving coursework just to be sure that it wasn't really there! We've had a stressful last few weeks, so we've all been laughing (to the point of tears) over this all day. Re-reading it, and to you, dear reader, it may not seem so funny.
So, if you would like a bit of fun, ask your friendly neighborhood advisor about wallpapering school, or how many credits you get for collecting belly button lint. Who knows what insanity may ensue!
