Calculus professor explaining maximum and minimum points, specifically saddle points:

"Has anyone ridden a horse? I went to ride one but I guess it was just for kids and they wouldn't let me because I was bigger than the horse"

Student: "what does that have to do with maximums and minimums?"

Professor "See, when you're riding a horse, you sit in the saddle right? And there's the part to hold onto in front, and than the part that goes up in the back to keep you from sliding off backwards, and then the parts that do down each side where your legs go, and then right in the middle where your b___s are, that's the saddle point."

Needless to say, I couldn't believe my ears. The whole class ROFLed too. (oh yeah, and there were no girls in the class today so that's why it got a little out of hand).
