The earth having only one moon, earthling leaders can only issue one metaphorical “moonshot” at a time.
Yet in a state-of-the-university speech this month, University of Southern California President Carol L. Folt announced “four moonshots.”
The “first moonshot” had to do with technology, the second had to do with health sciences, the third was “making USC the destination for the best and brightest change agents” (whatever that means)—and the fourth, according to the USC News, was “continued investment in USC athletics.”
Professional rhetoricians, let’s be careful out there.
Jupiter has four major moons.
Is this the special USC campus located somewhere amidst the gases and vapors that make up Jupiter?
Is President Folt speaking from deep space?
/s off, as we old fogies say
Not to state the obvious but, I think Dr. Folt is speaking of things she can do with her butt.
But I’m really writing to ask if you had Roger Miller in your head when you wrote that headline – because now he’s in mine and I can’t get him out.
