"Not bachelor's decree" joke

After passing the F. Sc. examination from the Punjab University in the early forties, my friend, Nirmal Singh, settled down in Delhi. Twenty years later, when I visited his house, I was astonished to find the following particulars displayed on his nameplate:
Nirmal Singh, FSC (F. Sc.)
Balwant Kaur, MSC (M. Sc.)
I asked Nirmal Singh if he did not feel embarrassed by proclaiming the comparatively higher qualification of his wife.
'Not at all,' replied my friend.' Why should I fight shy of admitting what is factually correct? I am father of seven children (FSC) and my wife is mother of seven children (MSC).'
