What a class. I'm kind of sad that it is over. Professor was cynical, but he was funny.
"And my sister-in-law is a pagan witch."
This might have been more of a shock than anything else, and it was said so out of the blue. Professor spoke in reference to the cover photo of this post. Professor had drawn a family tree to explain something in a book, I believe. I couldn't resist taking a picture of his little doodle.
"Life is a corrupt little game. Somebody out there is getting ******."
Maybe this is kind of true and sad, but the matter-of-fact way he said it with a slight smile on his face made me laugh.
"I wonder if I'd be able to teach without the word f***?"
I think he can do it. I am not a fan of profanity, but his cussing did make the class markedly more entertaining.
"Take speed before class. The 20 mL little pink pills."
This one... shaking my head... A boy had fallen asleep with his hand against his face right up in the front row of desks. Professor woke him up and recommended taking drugs as a way to stay awake.
"You're not allowed to talk about God anymore. That's why I did."
You go, dude. Professor just loved to stick it to the man. He told us a story about a disagreeable interaction with another teacher in an elevator. The other teacher apparently was disdainful about a spiritual reference he made about floors? And so, he complained about it to the class and talked about God for a while out of pure spite for the establishment and his colleague's arrogance.
"Well, aren't you superior! (She probably recycles her muffin wrappers)"
According to him, on the way to work that morning, Professor pulled up over the crosswalk at the stop sign marking the exit of his neighborhood. A lady biker/neighbor, was near him or beside him and frowned at him, shaking her head. He stuck his head out the window with a smile and loudly replied to her response. To us, he added some other comments and made fun of her attitude. It was pretty entertaining.
I hope this made you laugh. He wasn't a bad professor, just a bit different. Frankly, I enjoyed his honest and thoughtful, though perhaps crude, viewpoint and teaching. He stood in stark and refreshing contrast to some annoyingly mechanical servants of the establishment that I've been taught by in the past, who care more about appearance/reputation and ingraining students with their own beliefs than teaching them to seek the truth and how to seek to the truth.
I wish he would have been less cynical though. He was so very cynical, of everything and everyone. He coulda used some joy.
