Theodor Seuss Geisel was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1925 with an A.B. He then told his father that he had won a fellowship to attend Oxford. His proud papa gave the story to the local papers, whereupon young Theodore admitted that he had made it all up. Chagrined, his dad found the dollars necessary to send his dishonest but inventive son to Lincoln College, Oxford, where Dr. Seuss met his wife-to-be. Maybe he shudda written a book about why lying is not always such a bad thing, in that it can give one an excellent post-graduate education and a wife.
