At my semi Catholic college, the question we always had was-- is it Sister Nun McNunnerson, PhD or Dr. Nun McNunnerson, SSJ. We usually went with the latter in righting, but called them Sister Nun in practice. Except Marian Hocter, who we called Sister Doctor Hocter.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Also, in German is it not unreasonable to address someone as Herr Docktor Professor Schnitzelring (i.e mister doctor professor - all separate titles, all held by the same guy.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The solution to the problem, of course, is to get your own PhD. That way, if someone gets snippy with you for not calling them "Doctor", you can get snippy right back.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What is even happening?
I meant the Ms. Jane Doe, Ph.D. for the envelope. Inside, I would use "Dr."

Kind of surprised Ms. Manners didn't pick up on the real issue here:
I was introduced to a Dr. Soandso at a party and was embarrassed to have him say, after I had discussed at length an interesting disease in my family, that he didn't know anything about medicine.
It's no "can I kiss your belly" but sheesh. Maybe if you didn't launch into long involved stories with absolutely no prompting from the new acquaintance, you wouldn't get so worked up about having the proper code words to identify which tale you drag out.
