Re: Worst mistakes made by the professor in the classroom.
[ QUOTE ]
During a college Humanities class my professor was trying to start a discussion on why we use the words we use for certain things. For example why do we call a car, a car?
However, the first example that came to his mind was, "Why do we call a pig, a pig and not...a nigger"

The more you guys post about what goes on in those classrooms, the happier I am that I didn't waste four years listening to nonsense such as this. And I'm not even talking about the "nigger" reference. Cross that word out of the post, and I still find the post outrageous--that grownups would spend their time and money on such nonsense topics.
What is "humanities", any way?
A friend of mine told me he was majoring in Liberal Arts.
"Liberal Arts? What does that mean?", I asked.
"It means I go to school and F*CK OFF all day!"
