Prof Thoughts

My apologies for the recent disappearance. I tell you, those lines at the University bookstore get longer every year...

I'm back from Panama, back at school, back at work and somehow managed to pick up another job somewhere along the way. Over the last couple weeks I have formulated a couple of rants in my head, but I've decided to ease everyone (both of you) back in with a few examples of the delightfully hilarious things my History of Political Thought prof has said in class.

"I encourage all of you to email me this semester. I really do enjoy getting emails from students. To be honest it's a nice change from the hundreds of emails I get everyday telling me that I need to increase my manhood. You know what a really frightening thought is? Maybe I'm the only one getting these emails. Maybe it isn't spam but the product of highly advanced corporate surveillance..."

"I will do my best to learn all of your names, but my rampant senility makes it more difficult every year."

"I've never been more proud to be a sessional instructor at the 13th best University in Canada."

"This next story will probably give you some idea as to why I am no longer invited to dinner parties, or anywhere else for that matter. I was at a friends dinner party when one particularly successful young woman was talking about the power of positive thinking. She said that she put a picture of the BMW that she wanted on her fridge. Everyday she would see the picture and focus her thoughts entirely on acquiring the car. This is where I piped up, "Have you ever thought about putting up a picture of an Israeli and a Palestinian shaking hands instead?"

And that is why I love my prof.
