That is actually really funny. (The response, not the situation)

True story: when I was flying to OK to move here for my first job - fancy letters about a month old - the flight attendant asked over the loudspeaker "is anyone here a doctor? we have a medical emergency." My mom, who was traveling with me, said "you are NOT what they mean".

Your mom is my hero.

I'd have to ask is the emergency sciatica or whiplash?

Hey Dr. From the context of the post I am guessing that you have a Phd in Mathematics. What do you do for work? My original degree was in Mathematics, I work as a mining engineer. I am curios to know what you did with your qualification.

I'm a college professor. My specialty is mathematics education (my PhD is in that, not pure mathematics). Windywave is right, I did help a friend out w her pizza business at football games this year!

Refrigerator magnet on my mother-in-law's fridge:

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool Mom."

So true!

I worked as a Mathematics and IT teacher when I first left uni. Really rewarding job but the pay was shite. Mining Engineering pays much better.
