Ain't it the truth?

“Don't even tell me that...I've got a professor this term that uses a monotone voice the entire time and teaches a subject that I'm pretty familiar with...I just try to get online and ignore him.”

“I used to have a lecturer like that. His method to get around people sleeping was to start every new subject area with a big increase in volume.
The whole room would jump every ten minutes of so.”

“Dub, you must have slept right through the lecture where they taught that people take who, objects take that.

professor this term who uses a monotone.

The bridge that fell down.

The woman who ripped off your clothing and raped you.

etc.”

“That's the cool thing about college though...if you're bored, just get up and leave. Differences between the ages when bored in school:

Grade School: throw airplanes, talk, pass notes
Middle School: shoot spitwads, talk, pass notes
High School: sleep, pass notes
College: leave class”

“I had an unbelievably boring prof once. It was so bad I dropped the class after a few weeks. The class was a requirement, though, so I had to fight my way through the boredom the next year. A couple years later, I met the guy's daughter (a friend of a friend), and, after finding out who she was, I mentioned that I had her dad for a class once. She asked me how he was, and I was honest about it. She couldn't believe it - apparently the guy is a total crackup at home, telling jokes all the time, etc. I told her she should tell him to bring some of that to the classroom! She got a good laugh out of it....”

“worst prof I ever had was a tax prof. he was a quadrapalegic but had some kind of rig where he could use his arms enough to turn pages in a book. Since he was wheelchair bound, he couldn't use the board or an overhead very well. Instead he read. Right outta the book, verbatim. I started out highlighting, but quickly realized it was pointless to highlight the whole chapter. He would stop occasionally to say "that means that if...." and paraphrase what he'd just read.

He was a great person, just a really boring teacher, but real bright and with a lot of spirit - turns out we later found that he'd broke his neck diving into shallow water when he was 18 and lost a basketball scholarship. Made us all stop and think twice about the guy and how hard it must have been to overcome the injury - his life changed a lot from where he thought it was going.”

“Ah, yes... my Trig teacher in high school... "Sominex Sid". People would fall asleep and he'd lob erasers in like mortar rounds to wake them up. They'd be sitting in the next class with chalk down the sides of their heads, LOL

This one guy always fell asleep so Sid told him to stand in the back if he couldn't stay awake. The guy fell asleep standing up in the corner!”

“Nowadays Sid would get fired and the school board would get sued for emotional damage resulting from the ridicule suffered due to having chalk on their heads!

Prob accused of abuse for singling out the kid and forcing him to stand in the corner.”

“I liked the cartoon where Calvin considers cutting a ping-pong ball in half and marking in pupils, so he can sleep but look awake in class. "Or will I look *too* interested?"

Hilarious!”

“A chemistry teacher at my school was shooting a cork out of a tube filled with hydrogen, hit a girl in the face, knocked her glasses off and broke them, and she was wailing about suing.

Cracked the rest of the class up, and she was yelling, "It's not funny!"

Then there was Mr. Sapolsky, the same one Bill Cosby had. Taught algebra, was a Russian immigrant, and thoroughly caught up in algebra.

He'd throw equations up on all the blackboards, getting more and more excited, and ranting away at the class. Then he'd erase all the equations, fill his jacket with chalk dust, and start in all over again.

By the end of the day he looked like he'd spent the day in an alkali flat.”

“LMAO @ GEOBEET...i had a teacher like that in algebra also...a lady though...and also another teacher that when this one problem student went to sleep in class he kicked the underside of the desktop just to wake him up ...well he kicked a little too hard and ended up kickng the damn top off the desk...the kid woke up though...me and him were dope smokin buddies...luckily that day i was in the back of the class...also i went to a private school so we didnt have all the complaining to do like the public school kids did...”

“LOL! bet he sat at the back of the room after that huh.”

“I remember walking into a high school physics class, after the previous one just ended, and here is this guy in the front row head on hand and sound asleep. In a few minutes he awoke and the teacher was talking to him in the hall. Way too funny, but then I understood why when my class started.”

“too bad he woke up, always thought it'd be funny to have a teacher let somebody sleep through a couple of periods.”

“I generally sat in the back of the class with my pals, chewing toothpicks.”

“One of the best scenes about being bored in school is the Sex Ed class in Monty Python's 'Meaning of Life'. John Cleese uses the most explicit language possible and even demonstrates with his wife. The kids are absolutely bored just because it's in class.

BTW, I vomited on my Grade 11 chemistry teacher. Beat that.”

“i fell asleep during driving ed and sex ed most days.....


...i slept through the vidio about giving birth too. :)”

“Gremlin, you are the man!!!! Da bomb!!!!






















I hope that you eventually apologized as time went by.....”

“Ok, let's see. Grem upchucked all over the teach and Free's a narcoleptic!

Wow!

Key, Grem, that Pythn scene WAS funny. Did you projectile vomit like the guy later in the Monty Python flick?”

“I sat in the back of the class with my pals, chewing terbacky. The next year I quit skool (but not skoal) fer ever. I done gradiated 6th grade and if that were good enough fer Jenna Bush, it good enogh fer me.”
