Comic relief tends to repeat itself

In the lobby of Manville (UC graduate housing complex) some moron tossed a copy of Great Jobs for History Majors. I immediately recognized the potential of this gem and grabbed it before all else.

As a result, I will now bring you this series of posts that will offer random quotes from the book whenever I am not inclined to read for class or work on my brief.

ARBORETUMS, BOTANICAL AND AQUATIC GARDENS, CONSERVATORIES, AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES

Profile. Have you ever enjoyed walking a trail of rising and sinking boards floating on a mass of sphagnum moss surrounded by shoulder high autumn-hued vegetation? Have you ever gasped at the beauty of a Bird of Paradise? Or enjoyed smelling the rich perfume of a mock-orange tree in bloom? You can combine your love for, or interest in living botanical environments with your history degree to educate people who share these same interests. (p. 124)

Postscript: Does anybody who's a lawyer or in intro to IP want to give me a run down of copyright laws and fair use? I'd hate to be sued by a frustrated publisher eager to take out its anger on anyone mocking this shitty book.
