Question of the day

Today's question comes to us from across the Atlantic ocean. My blog buddy PJ in London wants to know: Are you a medical doctor or a doctor of the liberal arts?

Actually PJ, DR. Monkerstein is both a medical doctor and a doctor of letters, however the guy who writes his stuff is not a doctor but he's played one on TV. (I played a doctor on an episode of America's Most Wanted.)

From Von Monkerstein's Simian-a-pedia biography: "Dr. Monkerstein got his medical degree from the University of Madagascar when he was 15. He was in fact the inspiration for the show Doogie Hoswer MD. But due to certain rules, laws, and prejudices against human/animal hybrids practicing medicine in the USA, Dr. Monkey has had to give up his medical practice. However after he stopped practicing medicine he began his studies of various fields of arcane knowledge. As he studied and became somewhat famous in academia he was awarded degree after degree from institutions such as the Jed Clampett School of Finance, the Don Rickles School of Charm, Harvard, and Alliance Truck Driving Academy. With all those facts and stuff swimming around his simian brain now you know the reason why Dr. Monkey writes such an eclectic blog that covers so many topics."

Great question PJ, thanks for sending it in!

There's still time for you to get on this gravy train that is "question a day." Send your questions to monkeymuck(at)gmail(dot)com and I'll answer one a day through the end of January.

"...the Don Rickles School of Charm..."

That explains a few things. Like all of the hockey pucks!

I had my questions about your credentials, but no more.

Prejudice is such an ugly thing, wrecking lives and careers alike. Yet you, Monkey, you rose above and made lemonade from the lemons. You are truly a monkey among men.

We must be related. My brother in law, the famous Aunt Mike, calls me the Encyclopedia of Useless Knowledge. God knows my BA didn't get me anywhere.
