![]() "Andrew Sarangan" wrote in message oups.com... Another similar comment I often encounter is that I am not a real doctor because I did not go to medical school. yeh , I ve copped that one too. I answer it back with real doctors have doctorates. I dont actually ever use the title myself except when i phone the medical doc at work and she answers as Dr. White. i always reply with this is Dr. Mann. I think it is a bit pompous in this day and age for people mechanics to think they are more special than other professions. terry |

I think it is a bit pompous in this day and age for
people mechanics to think they are more special than other professions. A surgeon drives his car to the mechanic to have the clutch fixed, and the mechanic says that basically, what the mechanic does and what the surgeon does are the same. They open up the subject, they cut away what needs removal, they put in what needs replacing, and they put it back together. The surgeon says sure, but try doing it with the engine running.

Jose I was being a bit facetious with the people mechanic bit, I do actually respect what a medical doctor does , well some of them, but I also respect what an engineer or a scientist etc does, and dont see why the medic desereves a special title. terry. |

It's a bit pompous to put honorifics in front of one's name to begin with. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
