Martin,
  Your ego is alive and flourishing and is basking in its own nirvanic illusion.

dwellers at the trashhold, humour gets you into real
Nirvana...although humour through selfcriticism!

Its fun to empty the sack of ego to make room for the
real Ego is another interpretation.

Ph. D..fart could also be written Phart, so I bet a
Ph. D. is a Phart Demon? 
The story goes some Tibetan monks did kill their ego
by living on a cemetary..the most extatic moments were
when a new corpse was buried. The smell did its work
for them like incense and burning wood does its work
to scare elementaries off as KH states somewhere in
the ML.

I found out myself the hard way, enlightening comes
with killing your ego first and then talk later with
your real Ego ( who knows all ). What a bliss to know
seperation is gone when uniting your Manas with the
light of your inside Buddha...
