Everybody has had something funny happen while in school. Let's hear some of ya'lls stories.

I have two.

First was my final in Corporate Finance with Doctor King at USM. Final was one problem, took two hours to work, and came up a number divided by zero which could never happen. I'm sweating bullets thinking I'll not graduate and that Mom, Dad, and the Grandparents came down for nothing. I raise my hand and he says "trust your answer" I raise my hand again and he comes back witht he same smart comments. I blurt out, "but it's infinity" He throws an eraser at me and 10 people got up to turn in their paper. I knew then it was right.

Taking Economics at ICC I got called up by the Prof after class and asked how my Dad's medical practice was going. Confused I told him it was okay, I didn't pay attention to that stuff. He said it must be going well because 6 people had turned in an excuse from Dad's office for missing his test. He wanted to know how much I was getting per excuse. It told him $5.00 a lick and he told me don't worry about. I was learing capitalism and that's all he could ask for. Just make sure not to sell so many to cut his class.

1968
MS State
Prof. Clyde Q. Sheely
Chemistry Class
Sheely sold his own version of the periodic table for $4.50
All students were required to purchase one
He owed some guy .50 cents change and told him to stand up in class (auditorium of 250 students) that he would throw him the two quarters
Sheely reared back and threw both quarters at the guy, as hard as he could.
One of the quarters hit the guy in the eye so bad he went to the hospital
Heard later they settled outta court and the guy passed Sheely's class, too.

Sheely s'posed to have come up with the coating that allows beer to be canned rather than bottled.... Wudn't no chart deal in '67 but one luny bird!!!!

First semester english comp at Mississippi State. we were discussing some poem and the teacher asked what the lillypad in the poem represented. from the back of the classroom came the voice of a 400 lb black girl, and she yelled out, "a nipple." I have never laughed so hard in my life.

had King for some finance courses too. never had an eraser thrown at me though.

Yep, he invented the lining for alum. cans, so the contents wouldn't taste like metal....also, Prell shampoo, and a bunch of other stuff.

had a history teahcer in high school that was attemptng to explain where our "last names" originated:

John the Blacksmith became John Smith or in some cases John Black

Joe the Grain Miller became Joe Miller

and so forth and so on, then without missing a beat one of my best buddies raises his hand and when he was called he asks out loud

"What you reckon the Hancocks did?"

point taken, and a lesson learned

the doc

Had a professor in college hand the guy sitting next to me the answer key to the final test instead of the actual test. Changed a few answers to make them WRONG...made something like a 96 on it.

I had Charles Walker for Business Law at Ole Miss. One day in his class he was explaining how if a guy busted up you and your Bimbo wifes marriage that you could sue them for breach of contract. After that he calls on some blonde, sorrority girl and asks her if she knew what a Bimbo was. Her answer: Not exactly. His reply: Exactly!

2002
Professor Suter
Capstone Marketing Course at USM

a large part of the course was thinking outside of the box.

On the Final, after the first 10 answers were all "C", I flip to a question on the 3rd page, "C", fifth page "C". I mark C's all the way done in 10 mins.
Now for the funny part, 2 people took the full 4 hours and one of them failed.

In Micro biology class doing check scrapes looking at them in the micro scope. One girl had a cell she could not identify serveral of us looked at it squirming we said nothing the teacher came and looked she turned red as a stop sign... Seems it was her boyfreinds Birthday

Once in finance class at MSU, the professor who had the classrom before us kept his class late. This made the cajun teacher for our class mad as he!! Luckily, one of our classmates worked as a bartender at what was Babba O'Reileys (sp) and offered us a happy hour. The next class was held at the bar and the teacher bought 'em. In fact, we tried to pay and he threatened us with failure if we did! (To say the least, more than one of us had a hard time walking back to campus - - which was right across the highway. )

I've always appreciated the financial markets since then.

1969 - MSU - Statistics. Frat rat all dressed up with shiney all diamond fraternity pin and starched white shirt. Was sitting between two gorgeous sorority chicks. Accidentally cuts a turbo fart. Whole class dies laughing. i was crying I laughed so hard. He never came back. I heard he dropped the course.

Me and a buddy were taking Chemistry at Hinds. On the first day of class as the teacher was caling the roll everyone was saying here, or yo,etc. etc. My buddy Joe, said Present, so I said Present.

After class she stopped us and said we were the only ones who ansewered the rol correct, that we did not have to come back we would both get A's for the semester. And we did.....

When I was at Scooba Tech my freshman year a possum was in my World History class in the auditorium. Black guys on my football team went trying to catch it and they did. Beat the heck out of it with everything they can find!
