That is a professor I can relate to. I'm an engineering student in a cultural anthropology class. I'm not a happy camper. Just made me think of another quote that won't catch on.

Nothing quite as a dull as a book with big words and no math.

So your idea of a good read is the phone book?

Your forgetting, phone books have numbers....But they don't have math. There is a difference.

Another unquotable:

It only matters if it works in theory. After all, who cares about reality?

If you look smart, you don't need to be smart.

This job is fun, let's not ruin it with a paycheck.

Re: Quotes that won't catch on

Going back to "quotes that won't catch on":

"This couldn't possibly be a hardware problem. As a responsible programmer, I know it is far more likely to be a problem with my code than with the computer, so I'm going to thoroughly test and debug it before blaming the hardware."
