That's the right and privilege thereto appertaining to get a cup of coffee for a dollar and your diploma under your arm......

Where is your diploma(s)?

I have absolutely no idea. I doubt I've thrown it away and it's been 10 yrs since I wondered if I could find it the last time I thought about it.

An acquaintance of mine liked to refer to his partner's MFA as a license to be poor. Maybe that's it.

That's a good question. If memory serves, the diplomas themselves are in frames, the frames are wrapped up in a plastic garbage bag, and the bag is stuffed inside a cardboard box. Haven't got the first clue where the box is, though.

AFAIK, mine are in a box somewhere, in a storage facility near Calgary. Since I wasn't the one to put it there, you're guess is as good as mine if it's legit.

In a manila envelope, which is in a brown folder marked "Miscellaneous", tucked into the back of the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet.

I think. Been a while since I checked.

I've been meaning to put my BS in engineering in a cheap frame, then getting my ACI training (field tech crap) certificate in the most expensive frame I can find.

I will frame my PE when I get it next fall.

HS diploma: in a nice soft folder ... somewhere, possibly in a box at the folks' house

BS Mathematics: in a nice black frame, sitting in a box, in my basement, I think. I used to have this up, along with my wife's AS over our computer desk (mine was higher).

AAS Avionic Systems Technology from the CCAF (CC of the Air Force): also in a nice soft folder, in some box at my house

My secondary school (high school) diploma is in a filing cabinet. Apparently I've done enough to qualify for an associates degree, but I haven't bothered to actually get it (have to go to my old school, fill out a form, stand in line, pay a small fee, etc). When I get a BA I'll probably hang on to it quite carefully, at least for a good while.
