Reminds me of the yeshiva where they didnt call anyone to an aliya as “harav”, except the rabbeim in the yeshiva. everyone else who got an aliya was “reb ploni, but never harav ploni”. Once at a simcha in the yeshiva, a relative of the baal simcha was to get an aliya and they saw how on his tallis bag he had “harav ploni” stiched onto the bag. he was called up for his aliya, “reb harav ploni”. all the insiders got the joke, he didnt. he believed they called him up with the kavod he felt was due him. win win all around.
