looks like fun.

TAPPY · 03-16-2007

Ha ha - too funny.

I think the Elephant one was mine !!!

**SunKneeMarie** · 03-16-2007

I think the noose one with all the scrubbing out covers my usual frustration with some of those math problems....

margaritamamma · 03-16-2007

OMG!
That brings back some memories!! Can remember the "pain".

Seakony · 03-16-2007

I don't do math.

BonnyW · 03-16-2007

I actually see stuff like that. Really.

**Heather** · 03-16-2007

Oh, those are very funny! I often felt that way myself in math class. In my senior year university Shakespeare class, I was given the assignment with Henry IV to write a stage treatment of the play. I was very overworked and loopy at the time and wrote a paper that outlined the play as if Quentin Tarantino was the director ("a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Ye Olde Bigge Mac," etc.). I thought it was really funny. My crusty old Shakespeare prof. did not.

I'm starting to sweat and get hives just from reading this! I'd rather diagram sentences all day than do math. I loved grammar!!!!! It, at least, makes sense!

Eileencc · 03-16-2007

I'm much better at "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader!"

I have a fifth grader in the house to help me with the hard ones!

Those were pretty funny. Love the one where they describe the shape of the graph...it's two lines moving away from each other at a 90 degree angle...really?

MikeW · 03-16-2007

I love math, it makes sense. You're either right or wrong, a 1 or 0, black or white, nothing in between, no gray areas; at least until you reach diffy q and I guess calc is kind of like estimating, but not really.
Grammar, du noh about that.

Yes, it is limitless and only approaches estimations...

Eileencc · 03-16-2007

I'm with you Mike! I always liked math for the same reason. I don't do it too much in my work (I do a lot of writing and "creative" stuff...but I always did great at math for those reasons--gotta be a right answer and a wrong answer. No fudging.)

Joana · 03-17-2007

Hehe- I hate math....and those exam-examples just brought many funny stories to my mind of the oral exams here at the uni. Some of those are hillarious- and some got the professors into a LOT of trouble. Want to hear some examples??

Professor: Do you see those tress out there?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Well, when they have lost all their leaves I will see you again!

Or:
Professor: Is there motorical enervation in the labiae?
Female student: Um. Yes?
Professor: Well....would you clap for me then?? (Yep, he got into deeeep shit for that one!).
