As readers (if any) of this blog may understand, I am not a huge fan of the kind blatant self promotion. In fact, a new feature, "Self Promotion Apocalypse" will soon grace this site.
I think the perfect response to those who try to impress with their credentials and accomplishments was delivered in 1989 by Rowan Atkinson (center in the picture above), in his role as Capt. Edmund Blackadder, in the BBC One series, Blackadder Goes Forth.
With a little editing by yours truly, here it is:
"I, on the other hand, am a fully rounded human being, with a degree from the University of Life*, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks**, and three gold stars from the Kindergarten of Getting the Shit Kicked Out of Me***."
*Cum laude
**Bigly cum laude
***Board certified
