"I am not now, nor have I ever been, a rabbi; don't give rabbis a bad name, or insult me, by ever calling me one either behind my back or, what is even worse, to my face. 'Reb' is an honorary title -- like the non-military 'Colonel' in the South -- and not a designation of, or claim to, rabbinic ordination."

-- Reb Yakov Leib HaKohain
