[An official document with a title at the top between two images of graduation hats on either side:]

Congratulations, Class of 2019!

Your diploma grants you many new powers and privileges. These include:

  • You may now legally perform marriages and arrest people.
  • If you have your diploma with you, you can use grocery store express lanes with any number of items.
  • All graduates are entitled to delete one word of their choice from the Oxford English Dictionary.
  • The university will mail you your working lightsaber within 6-8 weeks.
  • You can send mail without stamps.
  • You have earned the right to challenge the British royal family to trial by combat. If you defeat them all, the throne is yours.
  • You may now ignore "Do Not Pet" warnings on airport security dogs.

If you're planning to challenge the royal family, you should probably wait 6-8 weeks, since a number of the younger ones have diplomas and Kate was actually on the varsity lightsaber team at St Andrews.
