A CRIMINAL OFFENSE

If a man has an American Ph.D.,
The "Dr." title should belong to he.
Though it doesn't make much sense,
It's a criminal offense
If he uses it in Germany.


(An article in The Washington Post of 14 March 2008 says it is a criminal offense -- carrying the possibility of a year behind bars -- to use the title "Dr." on business cards, Web sites and resumes if the degree is not from a country in the European Union.)
