Although Samuel Johnson never finished University because of money, he was honored doctorial degree by Oxford (?) after he did the first English dictionary.
His dictionary si concise, humor and alive, such as:
TO FART: To break wind behind. As when we gun discharge, Although the bore be ne'ere so large, Before the flame from muzzle burst, Just at the breech it flashes first; So from my lord his passion broke, He farted first, and then he spoke - Swift".
James Boswell wrote the biography of Samuel Johson that has been considered to be the best in the world.
