"Rescue Me" star Denis Leary didn't give a typical graduation speech at the Emerson College ceremony where he copped an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, reports the Boston Herald.

"I didn't prepare a bunch of stuff to say to you guys because I know you want to get out of here and get drunk," the 1979 grad and former writing instructor said. In his expletive-laden speech, Leary man aged to avoid most of the clichés that mar such occasions, especially that old "these- are-the-best-days-of-your-lives" chestnut. "That's bull [bleep]," Leary said.

"These are not the best days of your lives," he told the grads, adding that the students will leave school, get married, have kids, stop having sex, get colonoscopies and go through menopause. Lastly, Leary thanked Emerson for his Ph.D. degree "because I'm going to hold it over every one who works for me."
