'To state your degrees as qualification is as indefensible as a tonsure,' he said.
'Competence is all that counts.
'If you are competent, your degrees don't matter, except to nincompoops whose minds are too feeble to be worthy of your attention.
'If you are not competent, then all the degrees west of Greenwich Meridian can't help you-- for you are then, by definition, charlatan, quack or schmuck.
'I repeat, plumed astonisher, competence is all that counts.'
– The Lost Last Diary of Uncle Barnaby (1988)
