a substitute teacher i once had said god does not exist that made for a interesting class period it started out with the sub saying most kids are idiots and that it is their parents fault that they are this way then it led on to at one point me blurting out "that is one of the most ignorant and bias things i ever heard "
he said "ignorant huh well you probably don't even know what ignorant and bias mean " i gave him a full and thorough definition and then said "anything else" that was a mistake he said OK everyone shut up and sit down (no one was standing) it went quiet for a second then he continued to yell if god would let something like this happen he doesn't exist. then the bell rang on our way out he said to Friend of mine who was sitting next to me "don't you mess with me"
my Friend said what the hell and out of no where the sub pushed him he kept walking the next day the teacher was back and informed us that the sub had been fired and the school district is going to press charges on behalf Cris (my Friend) and went on with the lesson when i asked Cris later why he was pushed he told me that the sub had mistaken him for me!

I have a professor who likes to refer to sleeping during class as "doing z-transforms."

I have many more funny comments locked in my brain somewhere but I can't come up with any of them right now.
