To bring it back to the original point, I never list my degrees (which for the record, are B.Sc. and LL.B.)

But if I got some other kind of honour - most notably if I get a QC designation, you better believe I'm going to rock those letters every chance I get.  :ph34r:
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Heh, I had started this thread in part hoping someone would have something truly unusual like OBE or SJ. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Someday, I might be able to put "USAF(Ret.)" after my name.  :)

I'm pretty sure we would've known by now if somebody here was a Jesuit.

That's what they'd like you to think :shifty: :pope:

I circulate an attendance sheet in one of my classes where students write their names and sign, which I guess appeared foreign and exotic to my students. About a third into the semester last year, a student began signing his name with a variety of letters, perhaps assuming I never looked at those, or that the TA would ignore his little amusement. It began with esq., ing., then moved into more obscure ones, s.j., KT, etc. When I wrote the comments on his final exam at the end of the semester, I made sure to address him using all the titles he had claimed: Dear Knight of the Thistle, reverend father, Monsignor, ...
