MPOW is sometimes accused of having a culture of politeness, but clearly we still have much to learn from these guys:
Academic #1: I am so honored.
Academic #2: No, I am so honored.
A1: No sir, the honor is mine.
A2: Respectfully sir, the honor is mine!
A1: I beg your pardon sir, but the honor is entirely mine!
…
Honorary degrees: taking politeness to the next level.
