For some reason this reminded me of a New Yorker cartoon years ago of a maitre d' taking reservations over the phone.
He says:
''Certainly. A party of four at seven-thirty in the name of Dr. Jennings. May I ask whether that is an actual medical degree or a Ph.D.?''
Being a somewhat recent PhD when that cartoon came out, I was quite taken by it.

The caption actually said, "May I ask, are you a real Doctor, or merely a PhD?"
