Agreed. My former T (who earned his PhD in his 50's) was very self-deprecating, and had a great sense of humor, which included the ability to poke fun at himself. I congratulated him on earning his PhD, and he said that the greater the number of degrees, the higher people's expectations, but actually, the fewer the results. So then I told him that I had heard that PhD could mean Piled higher and Deeper. He got a good chuckle out of that.
