Heck, I have a doctoral degree.

Maybe should start billing myself as Dr. Ben Lurkin.

[napscoordinator]

Technically you can.

[napscoordinator]

Actually. I like it. Dr. Ben. Sounds awesome!!!! And you did the work so why not.

Maybe should start billing myself as Dr. Ben Lurkin.

Sounds better than the proctologist... Dr Ben Dover.

Maybe should start billing myself as Dr. Ben Lurkin.

As I inform locals, who want to be called Dr.,

“Fine, You have to call me Master, since I have a Master’s degree.”

So far none have taken me up re this challenge.

Maybe should start billing myself as Dr. Ben Lurkin.

Not Dr. Ben Dover of Delaware?

“Dr. Ben Lurkin”

THAT is one cool cinema bad guy name.
The next Arch Enemy of THE AVENGERS!!!

At least consider it. If you have a DOCTORATE you are justified in calling yourself doctor. It is nothing more than an academic title derived from the Latin verb docēre ‘to teach’.

I refused to spend the extra year earning a PhD. Did not want to be known as Dr. I was more interested in working with my father.

I have a law degree (Juris Doctor). I shall be referred to Dr. Pink And Green Mom forthwith and henceforth.
