| #5 I'd figure an Oxford degree over there would get you the serious stinkeye. Better to have one from Jihadi State or University of Mo...and I don't mean Missouri. |

| #4 What he really meant is that he got his degree out of his Oxfords. Really! He looked in his shoes one morning and there it was! |

| #3 An honorary degree no less, not even one that he supposedly worked for. Even Mugabe had honorary degrees. |

| #2 In the Third World you aren't anybody until you can put Dr. in front of your name, even if it's purchased. That's true in much of Europe, too, although there the degrees are usually genuine. Oxford ought to publish a list in the Times of those whose claims are fraudulent. It would be quite amusing, I'm sure. |

| #1 It means he thinks people will be impressed by an Oxford degree. Impresses the hell out of me, I can tell you. |
