Ron Swanson: You know him, and you love him. But if you look closer (and I know you don't want to admit this but), he shares an uncanny amount of similarities with your least favorite professor. Here's why:

1. Ron Swanson is a God.

"You had me at 'meat tornado.'"

2. But what one must remember is...

Sorry in advance for my betrayal, Ron.

3. Gods can pull some real funny business sometimes.

Meet Professor Swanson.

4. His attitude on work:

Professor Swanson does not like his job. He does not like schools, he does not like young adults, he does not like grading papers, and the entire class is really questioning his chosen profession. He would probably make a better woodworker. Or meat chef. Or anything besides a professor, really.

5. Impossible Office Hours:

Professor Swanson doesn't have office hours. Who needs office hours when you wholeheartedly expect your students to fail?

6. Chasing after him for your grades like...

This is you deciding to hunt down Professor Swanson anyway. You tried your best, really.

7. When he cracks a "joke" in class that no one understands:

Professor Swanson is his own biggest fan.

8. When he writes an exam that he knows the whole class will fail:

So Professor Swanson is an intellectual mutant beast who feeds on the misery of teenagers, right?

9. Trying to figure out what the heck this assignment is:

Is it a paper or an exam? Is it due tomorrow or in a month? Many professors seem to love unnecessarily confusing students, but Professor Swanson takes the cake for most dedicated to the cause.

10. When he accidentally gives some useful information about the next paper:

Thank God for small miracles.

10. Asking for an extension:

Good thing he gave some of the answers away, cause that paper has to be in on time now.

11. Oh, you want the final exam pushed back?

Whoop, there it is.

12. The face of a man who's endured God-knows-how-many years of course evaluation roasts with absolutely no repercussions:

"I can do what I want."
