probably go off on a dojo tour to learn more styles and to set up a name for
myself. I'm not so stupid that I don't know that you or Nabiki would be
better at running the business side of the dojo. I just need to concentrate
on learning to be a good teacher."

"That's the point. You have to have a degree or a teaching certificate
before you can open up a school these days."

I think sometimes people overblow that a bit. First, if Ranma
had a reputation, he'd have no trouble getting students regardless
of any accreditation. Second, I'm sure Japan has colleges like many
in the US - all he'd have to do is show a few skills and they'd make
sure he never paid a cent or attended a class to get a degree as long
as he was on a school team for something. As big as baseball is in
Japan, he'd probably go for that. He could get by without showing
off too much.

I'll tell you, in all the time I attended the University of Houston,
I never once saw an athlete on campus. Not once. I didn't know a single
person who had ever seen an athlete on campus. The closest I can come
is my best friend's roommate's cousin's sister claims to have seen
an athlete cross the quad once. Seriously. No foolin'.

"Oh, welcome home, Ranma. The table? I usually have a book under the leg to
keep it level, but I had to return it earlier today."

"Return it...? You mean... that's what you use those books you borrow from
Doctor Tofu for?!"

"Well, of course, silly. You don't think I actually -read- those dry, dusty
old things, do you?"

:)  Very humorous.

"Oh, my god," he gasped as he desperately tried to quell the guffaws that
were threatening to do him in. "A hardbound edition of the 'Harlequin
Romance Anthology, Volume Twenty'? Who'd have ever thought that the doc was
addicted to trashy romance novels?!"

He gets them strictly for the patients in the waiting room. ;)

Very nice set of little stories. :)
