Memorable Graduation Advice From the Stars24 of 38
Will Ferrell to Harvard College's Class of 2003:
"You’re about to enter into a world filled with hypocrisy and doublespeak, a world in which your limo to the airport is often a half-hour late. In addition to not even being a limo at all, often times it’s a Lincoln Town Car. You’re about to enter a world where you ask your new assistant, Jamie, to bring you a tall, non-fat latte, and he comes back with a short soy cappuccino. Guess what, Jamie? You’re fired. Not too hard to get right, my friend.
Now I know I blew some of your minds with my depiction of what it’s really like out there. If anyone can handle the ups and downs of this crazy blue marble we call Planet Earth, it’s you guys. As I stare out into this vast sea of shining faces, I see the best and brightest. Some of you will be captains of industry and business. Others of you will go on to great careers in medicine, law, and public service.
Four of you -- and I’m not at liberty to say which four -- will go on to magnificent careers in the porno industry. I’m not trying to be funny. That’s just a statistical fact."
