Ah, success! (from a teaching perspective). |

Not mine. From overheardinnewyork.com
Columbia professor [having just explained a relatively simple concept, turning to girl in front]: Do you understand this?
Girl: Yes.
Professor: Good. Because, you know, you're really the canary in the coal mine for this class. If I can get you to get this, I'm set.

I'm so addicted to overheardinnewyork.com and its spin-offs!
This thread, though, is almost as good! Unfortunately I don't have anything to add...

In the library, about an hour ago:
Female Student #1: I don't get this microfilm thing. It's like totally inconvenient and stuff.
Female Student #2: Yeah. I can't believe we have to pay to print.
Student #1: So did you buy a copy card?
Student #2: Not really. The machine doesn't take card cards.
Student #1: I can't deal with this sh*! right now. What are we supposed to do?
Student #2: I wonder if we can check it out.
Student #1: Maybe.
I almost had to fake a coughing spasm to avoid laughing at them. For some reason, I'm highly doubtful they have a microfilm machine in their dorm room.

Student #2: Not really. The machine doesn't take card cards. How does one "Not really buy a copy card"? I thought that was a binary operation. Yes, I bought one. No, I didn't buy one. I suppose there's "I knocked down the little old lady who had one and stole it from her". That's not really buying a card and yet having a card. For some reason, I'm highly doubtful they have a microfilm machine in their dorm room.
Well, you never know what gadgets Mom insisted that they buy with their birthday money. |

Maybe they have a microfiche reader and are mixing them up.

I wouldn't put it past the students to be confused on that point. Those words are practically the same and, really, who could be expected to know the difference between two such similar things?

I just want to know what that is. I'm thinking "defamation of character." Then again, who knows? |
