Confused Re: What does a Dan Grade Really Mean

Yeah, was this the minimum time in grade requirement (too little!? ) or the length of your promotional "test" (too much!? )?

I guess my question to people is what does a Dan grade actually mean? Is it a recognition of skill by your Sensei or is it a recognition of something more and deeper commitment to a way and philosophy of life?
Nope.
It's my own parking spot.
It's my cuts in chow lines.
It's my immunity from the common cold.
It's my free movie passes.
It's my lunch money. Mine.
It's everywhere you want to be, without the visa bill.
Did I mention senior citizen discount?
