Nice and loud during the middle of one of my labs last week:
"Well, you're a boy. Of course if you hear the words "deep throat" you're going to be paying attention."
On one hand, I'm curious about whether than comment was in anyway related to the lab or the lecture with which it is paired. On the other hand, I'm probably don't want any details at all.
Watergate? |

Watergate? Do people teach labs on Watergate? Particularly people with the moniker Chemystery? |

If you haven't got either the anatomical or metaphorical balls to post your own question on a pseudonymous internet forum, then academia is the wrong job for you.

The step to Watergate is obvious. Come to think of it, they did use water in that lab. I suppose it was inevitable that one of them would notice the connection. I would like to thank GH and Polly for helping me to see the obvious. This clearly being the answer, I refuse to even think about any other explanations. |

Not exactly "overheard" but I couldn't think of where else to share this.
As I was setting up for lecture this morning one of the students was talking about his Halloween costume. He's a big guy, needs a shave and a haircut. He's dressing as a woman. He was going on about his covert operations to secure clothing for his costume. I guess lack of sleep (4 hours) made me a little punchy, "So what are your plans for a bosom?"
He then describes the size of bra he found and that he thought about filling it with water balloons, but thought it wouldn't "feel" right. I think about this for a bit, "Why don't you fill some ziploc bags with liquid dish soap? It has a better consistency and you could still use it when the party is over."
"Oh, Dr. Turtle, that is the best idea ever!!!"
This was a good laugh for everyone, but not as good as when I said, "Oh please don't put that on my course evaluations."

If you put the right spin on it, you could use this for your personal evaluation at the end of the year: "I am proactive in helping students find solutions to problems."

From one of my students, in the hall after she left class: "I'm not a boy! I'm a girl!" I'd love to know what she was responding to.
Maybe she had just gotten a cell-phone text spam offering to increase her offerings. |
