I fished all last week in Alaska with a very prominent German surgeon and
did not know he was a Doctor until the third day when I asked him what he did.

Some people are really title conscious.  There is an attorney in
Huntsville, Alabama that insists that you address him as Attorney
________________.  I do but also insist that he address me as Certified
Insurance Counselor Grimwood.  It is crazy how people let their education,
profession and titles go to their heads.  I good dose of humility does us
all good.
