The Bre-X MBA (Master of Bogus Accountancy) degree, offered by the famed "we make money the old fashioned way, we salt the samples" mining company, has become the gold standard among major corporations across America. First awarded in 1997 as a culinary distinction for "cooking the books" the cordon-bleu way, the Master of Bre-X Accountancy degree stands far above the numerous other MBA programs because of the practical experience involved. Bre-X grads may be identified by the distinctive black helicopter on their lapel pins.
