The best part of having a doctorate is any time someone asks me to do something I don’t want to do, I write “absolutely not” on a post it and say sorry can’t I have a doctor’s note

@dramypsyd I do a similar thing and it works umm, not as well as I'd like

@dramypsyd “Dr. Smith? Oh thank goodness, there’s a medical situation in first class!” “Oh, sorry, no! Paleontologist! Unless you have a dinosaur up there, I can’t help!”

@dramypsyd this is the best reason I've heard for getting a PhD

@dramypsyd@ohai.socialmore more ! you have a "doctor's not"

[argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org]

@mwyman

Even if they do have a dinosaur up there—a live one, that is—a paleontologist still isn't going to be much help.

Now, if it's an animated dinosaur skeleton that can only be defeated by telling it the names of its bones, *then* you need to call a paleontologist!
