I read from a local msgboard here at Texas A&M.

They got a pretty good thread going about off the wall things they've heard their professors say.

Here's the link: http://hobbes.resnet.tamu.edu/forums/in ... &t=78&st=0

examples:

Prof: Does anyone know the largest factor in determining good grades in public schools?

Student: Attention span?

Another student (to the prof): Could you repeat the question?

--------------

The Prof is using Poker chips to explain probability. He has maroon and blue chips. He also wants to use the chalkboard to write down column A and column B and the different chips in each pile.

Prof: I wish I had colored chalk.

Student: There's some yellow chalk.

Prof: There aren't any yellow chips.

Student: ...but you can use...

Prof: THERE AREN'T ANY YELLOW CHIPS.

My nautical archeology professor who grew up in Portugal

"In secondary school we had to take 3 years of English, but it was the late 60s so all my teachers were so high they never showed up to teach. So my English was horrible when I got accepted to A&M. So I learnt by watching Pulp Fiction over and over again.... then when I got here I was informed it wasn't polite to say "mother fucker" in class.
