How long did it take to earn your 10th?
More lives than I care to count.

If you had studied as long as I, you would not be fazed by this kind of nitpicking. I'm used to it. People all the time ask me if my 10th degree means anything. I tell them no. They then ask why I bother wearing it. I say: "But then what's going to hold up my pants?"

Perhaps you shall show more respect in the future, mate.
