A Picture worth at Thousand Words

My MBA thesis is due in less than 2 weeks. I only have about 7,000 words out of the required 15,000 down. 50% more to go. Well yes I'm guilty of succumbing to intense periods of K-drama obsession and procrastinating to the nth degree on writing this paper. And in conversation with C today:

C: How's your assignment?
Me: It's coming along.
C: How much?
Me: 7,000 words to go in less than 2 weeks.
C: You're not going to make it.
Me: But I got a lot of graphics...
C: they don't count as words duh...
Me: There's a saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words"...
[pregnant pause]
C: then all you need is 15 pictures of Biz and Holly to finish your assignment!

Wow. If only. If only I knew this to be true from the start. I could have saved myself a lot of effort. But has anyone out there submitted an MBA thesis with only pictures and passed? Will this brave soul please stand up?

Well, you COUD try and do a degree in Fine Arts or Architecture.. whereby your thesis WOULD be a picture or design.. and all you need to say is...erm..ahhhh...hmmmm...mmmm.... while practicing your pensive stare and look of concentration.. if anyone ask what it is, just say ABSTRACT!..if they ask why one eye is bigger than the other or things look bendy and disproportionate (dun say you suck), say its Surrealism... if they ask why your figures are squarish , say its CUBISM... or go its all wennie-ism.. add ism to the back, makes it a whole new thingy!!
