Koohii stories:

1) [chamcham] 31-12-2009(183): Ph.D graduation for assembly line of doctors(needles) with the cap and tassel(top hat). It took them 10 years (Bachelor's, Masters, PhD) to get there…. :-p.

2) [fagie37] 2-4-2008(95): When you graduate, you wear a hat and graduate in an assembly line while your parents sit on pins and needles because it will take ten years to pay off those loans.

3) [xxinde] 12-1-2010(69): In the distant future, universities will produce graduates on assembly lines. As the kids move along on a conveyor belt they are injected with knowledge via a needle from below while overhead robotic arms place square caps with tassels on their heads. This way it only takes a few minutes to graduate.

4) [mantixen] 2-9-2008(37): The couple counted to ten before tossing their top hats at graduation.

5) [eightyd] 13-6-2010(17): Forget the heisig stuff for this one. To me it looks like a little stick figure in a graduation cap with happy eyes. Hes happy, I mean he is graduating after all.
