I don’t know how “lunatic” this is. But this was an ad I just saw pop up, which is an amazing slap in the face to everyone who has worked for that title.
Buy your way to a title

I got one of those from the Universal Life Church 20 years ago when I became a minister. Mostly just so I could randomly say "Well what would I know, I'm just a DOCTOR."

Similar story here, but not that long ago. Got my doctorate in geopsychology from Abide University not long after becoming an ordained dudeist priest.

This must be where my Doctor got his honorary medical degree. He's the the worst, all he ever does is draw my blood from my neck. Do not go see "Dr." Akula.

Just curious, have you ever seen this guy outside during the day?

Outside in the day? Hell, I can’t even see him in the mirror.

At least quote the person whose joke you have butchered.

At least mention the person whose joke they butchered!
Sloppy execution, but Mitch Hedberg jokes always give me a chuckle.

I still have intestinal troubles from my time in PhD. And I don't even use the title…

Having worked with many people with PhD degrees, I've noticed the ones that actually use their title are often the least knowledgeable and least likeable of the bunch. Most folk just assume everyone is qualified, with or without using the title, until proven otherwise by opening their mouths. There was this one dude who had 3 PhDs and literally wrote the book on some stuff, he was the most chill dude ever and said: "Just call me Robert, that's my name". Whilst this other dude insisted on being called Dr. Jenkins was an absolute idiot of a man. He would be often wrong and always challenged everyone and every thing. Of course the higher ups liked him, because of how he presented himself. But everyone else hated him. And I later found out his PhD wasn't even directly related to the field he works in.

My PhD (pretty heavy drinking) gives me intestinal issues too.

Interesting that they don’t have a German or Swiss flag there. From what I understand, claiming a doctorate that’s not completely above-board (even if it’s legal) is a career-ending move there.

That's Dr. Sucker, PhD
