The Funniest Thing That Happened in One of Your Classes!

[Clockwork08]

Ok, this happend in eighth grade but still the funniest thing ( or the meanest thoing) I had history on the third floor in the building and the lecture on that particular day was very boring and no one was paying attention. Out of no where my teacher, Mr. Trent, opens the window and jumps out. well we are all and shock but one girl took it really badly and jumped up running around in a circle yelling call 911, Mr. Trent Killed himself over and over again. Then he pokes his head out the window, and says I bet I got your attention now. What we didn't realize tere was a large ledge and reality only jumped a couple of feet.

Also same teacher different day, he had been warning the same two boys about their pants being too baggy, and one day I guess he had enough. He called the two boys to the front to the class and duct the pants to them, I thought it was hilarious but It prolly wasnt funny for those two boys...

As an Occupational Therapy major, one of our classes was titled Activities and we focused on different activities you could use in therapy, what goals they might achieve and what the contraindications were for the activity. Part of this involved doing demonstration speeches and answering all of the above questions. I found a cool pattern on how to make a lamp out of popsicle sticks and did my speech on that. It was a 5 minute speech so I practiced a lot in my apartment, putting this lamp together over and over to get it so I could do it under 5 minutes.

It's speech day and I tossed all the parts into my backpack and headed for class. As I'm assembling this lamp in class I realize that the little cardboard tube that covers the electrical wires by the switch is missing. Oh well, I think, it's just decorative, I'll skip it. So, I plug the lamp in and go to turn it on and ZAP, I get a pretty good zap in my fingers and jump back about a foot, hitting the chalkboard behind me. Everyone in the class looks horrified and I just calmly unplug the lamp and finish my speech, making a joke that you need to make sure you have all the parts or you can get an electrical shock. During the rest of this speech, my arm is tingling and the muscles are really hurting. I sit down and start crying and my prof comes over with a dynanometer (tests muscle strength) and we find that my right arm is at about 40% strength compared to my left arm. I push my sleeve up because my shoulder is hurting and you could see an exit point for the electrical current! She sent me straight to ER where they had to do an EKG to make sure my heart wasn't affected by the charge.

It wasn't funny at the time, but I was definitely subjected to a lot of comments like "Dee's speeches are electrifying", afterward! They also practiced muscle strengthing techniques on that arm.. it remained weak for several weeks!

Oh yeah, I got an A+ for it.. the prof couldn't believe I kept my composure and finished the speech before breaking down.

What a trip!

I go to a VERY small school where students lose a letter grade if they have more than three unexcused absenses in any class. Obviously, people rarely skip class. Well, one day in my History of Vietnam class the prof checks for attendance and when finished tells us to pack up our things. That's right, one kid was absent for the fourth time, so we were going to go wake him up. My professor marches us to Greek Row and into a fraternity house, up the stairs until we arrive in his room. You guessed it, he opens the door to his advisor, professor and the twenty-nine of us.

I'm pretty sure that he doesn't skip classes very often anymore!

My first year in the theater program, I had to take a class called voice and movement, our prof was fabuloulsy gay and dating the chair of the dance dept. Because of this our prof used alot of floor exercises from his partners modern dance class. Now these exercises focus on the pelvic reigon as the center of the body so there is alot of rolling and thrusting going on. as if this isn't hard enough for a freshman class to get used to, a couple of weeks into the semester there was a day affectionaly referred to as" pelvis day" by all the upperclassmen.
On "pelvis day" Michael our professor would come to class in his usual tight black tank top and swet pants and begin demonstrating the days exercises, during the exercise in which we were supposed to lie on our backs knees bent lifting our pelvisis to the cieling, he would strip off his sweat pants to reveal a unitard (with no dance belt or anything holding him in) and begin to demonstrate the exercise. Saying something like "i'm over it, so get over it right? right. Anyways you can imagine the held back sniggers and jeers it really does take a special breed of person to be a theater major.

I had this fabulously closetted teacher a few times. I had heard so much about him, so the first time I took him i absolutely loved him! He was very animated when he taught too.

One day he came in singing some Madonna song, and we're all like "yeeah good mood eh?"

One day he's in the middle of teaching and someone's phone goes off, and he's just glaring at the class. Finally he walks over to his stuff adn realizes it was his own phone!

Ok not as funny as everyone else's stories. Nothing really exciting happens at my school. One of my sisters' professors a week or so ago was like "Yeah I'm hungover, I'm cancelling class". And one time my dumbass friend decided he was gona get the guys to hold the doors open in our main academic building and he road his motorcycle through the school. That was just a dumb prank cuz it was so loud and scared people.

I forgot to share this when i last posted on this thread........


I dont know if it was funny or just down right sad

This girl in international political theory class during lecture just shouts out " thats it!...i can't take it no more..." the professor who was my dept advisor said, " excuse me?!" she starts having a total fit in class... "i can't take it no more ... i cant stand you or this class or this major or this dam school i quit!" picked up her books was about to walk ou and then threw them down and stomped out! we were all sitting there looking at one another and the most funniest thing was a student out of dead silence proceeds to ask the professor "so ...you were saying .... everyone just bust out laughing. i guess she quit school because never saw her againt hat semester or ever.

Second semester of my freshman year I wanted to take a math class and the one I really needed was not offered, so my math advisor suggested that I take Differential Equations. The class at Spelman was full, so I took a class at Morehouse (AUC students are allowed to cross register). The class was full of sophomore and junior math majors, some who were taking it for the second time. That should have told me something. Dr. Gore, the professor, was known for being tough. On April Fool's day some of the folks in the class decided to play a joke on him, so they placed a fake Coke can (looks unopened, but it is empty) on his desk that said "Have a Coke and a Smile Dr. Gore, from your DE class". Dr. Gore walked in, saw the note and the Coke and went on and on about how nice it was, what a wonderful class we were, etc. When he picked up the coke and realized it was empty he said "ohhhh, so you want to play a joke on me, huh. Well, joke's on you! POP QUIZ!" Everyone was dying laughing until he said Pop Quiz. You could have heard a pin drop. He proceeded to put the most complex DE equation on the board and said "Solve it". He let us sweat it out for about 30 minutes then told us to pass our papers in. After he got them all he said "April Fools!" and threw them away! Boy we were all sweating bullets that day!!

Probably doesn't sound that funny you all of you but one day in high school my chem teacher is walking around checking all our work and all of a sudden she trips on a backpack, falling flat on her face. All you see is her tacky sweater go down and then her jump right back up and shout "i'm okay". we were dying for the rest of class.

Same teacher I also had for organic chem the next year. She starts class by saying, "Today we are going to learn about backside attack, laugh, I know you must, just get it all out now". Till this day I can't find anyone else who knows what the hell backside attack is.

Now to college. In my business lecture and we are talking about copywrite extentions. The professor asks who would benefit the most from this, and gives us the hit that he is short, black, with big ears. Some yells out as the person next to me says it too "Gary Coleman". The class totally lost it.

Another one:

One of my sisters, Sarah, was taking a class last semester witha really rude professor. She got up in class one day to go to the restroom (she was really quiet and unobtrusive about it, so not to disturb his lecture). She has her hand on the doorknob and the professor stops speaking, turns to her, and says, "Where do you think you're going?" Sarah, a little aback, says, "Uh, the restroom." He flips out, saying "No! Sit back down. Go to the restroom on your own time!" Keep in mind, this is a 2 1/2 hour block class with no break. Sarah, pissed off at his attitude, pulls a tampon out of her pocket, holds it up, and says, "Fine, would you like me to change this here, then?"

That shut him up

A woman after my own heart. That's the kind of stuff I like to pull!

This one isn't so much funny as strange.
In my social psych class we were discussing how, during a crisis, the more people witnessing--the less chance there is that anyone will do anything. It's called Diffusion of Responsibility.
Anyhow--just as the professor pauses, a girl in the middle of class keels over and has a seizure. The entire class of about fifty just goes silent and stares--nobody does anything cuz even those that would normally do something figured it was part of an experiment or something.
After a good ten full seconds I grabbed my cell phone to dial 911 as an Alpha Phi in the class walked over to help her (she had spent the last summer as a paramedic in training or something). The girl didn't want an ambulance (not that I could get one--the lady insisted on an address...I told her I was on campus...and this building didn't have a road next to it anyway).
Anyhow it turns out that she had given blood and just had some sort of hypoglycemic shock or something...but during the seizure she lost control of her bladder and there was pee all over the middle of the floor. The Alpha Phi girl escorted her to the student health center.
The professor just went on and said,"well, I was going to go on with that...but I think this incident pretty much illustrated the idea here."
She never did come back to class.

I can't remember if I have posted in this thread or not. I didn't go thru all the pages and I apologize if I told this story twice.

I took a Poli Sci class during the summer at a JC in my hometown. The teacher was kind of a goof and quite a few people would get into heated debates with him. This one girl got so angry with him that she actually stormed out of the classroom after the professor basically told the student she was wrong for believing what she did. Well, later in the semester, the class decided that we wanted to debate. We were given a topic and split the class down the middle and we had at it. In the middle of the debate, we look over at the professor at the front of the classroom. He is SAWING LOGS like no other. Here we are screaming at each other about some issue and our professor is asleep at his desk. Head in his hand and eyes shut. We all just kinda continued speaking but we couldn't help but laughing at the professor. I don't remember how he actually woke up... I think he just sorta realized he was asleep and tried to play it off... but this wasn't until people were starting to leave class. He finally ended the class a little early. I lost a lot of respect for the professor that day... but it was still funny as hell.

In my high school history class, the teacher was talking as always and suddenly we hear this loud crash come from the back of the classroom. We all turned around to see what had happened and this girl had been reaching too far over to another desk and actually tipped her entire desk over, with her in it, and we quickly burst out in laughter.

In college psych, we were talking about what we find attractive in members of the opposite sex, and the professor called on some volunteers to describe. Well, this class had about 150 people in it, and this one girl described her boyfriend in the army and how she loves the uniform and the cap they have to wear. Just then, a guy comes into class late and walks almost to the front of the room. The closer he gets to the front, the more the laughter builds as people see him and finally, we all just burst out in laughter because he was in ROTC wearing the army uniform and was wearing the cap she liked. The poor kid had totally no clue why we were all laughing- musta thought he had something on his pants, but after he sat down, we told him what happened- and I noticed he was all red.

In my history class, we each had to get in front of the class and give a presentation about a specific book of our choice. Well, I'm totally awful at speaking in front of people. Something about 50 eyes all looking at me creeps me out. So, I'm up in front of the classroom and my speech is totally not going the way I had rehearsed it in my room, and I start to panic. In one line that I was giving, I was supossed to say "The men could divorce their wives...". As usual, I botched it by saying "The men could divorce their women..." The whole class erupted in laughter.

I walked into a departmental meeting last year and everybody cracked up. Seems that the other professors had been discussing their favorite colors of M&Ms and I walked in wearing a T-shirt featuring the blue one.

I remember in 8th grade I had a Texas history teacher who was a tiny little lady and was older than dirt. She had a habit of tipping her chair back while seated at her desk. She would tip back far enough to lean on the chalkboard behind her. One day she tipped back and the chair slipped and she fell right out in the floor. The faculty men's lounge was right next door and two teachers heard the big "clump" and came over to help her up. We were a big help - we just sat there and stared!

Two stories...
There was a guy that I had a huge crush on and in between classes I saw him walk into the library so I decided to follow him. He sat in on the couches in the middle and starting reading a magazine. So I decided to sit at a nearby table and pretend to study. I was so happy when I finally caught his eye and saw him smiling at me. But the real reason he was smiling at me was because it was so super obvious that I was only in there to look at him and not really study since my book was UPSIDE DOWN! I was so embarassed!!!!
One time I feel asleep during an 8am class and had a bad dream. I woke up and threw my notebook into the air!
