Funny Story

So I have a funny story about a Professor.  

He taught Calc 1 and Calc 2.  He's Asian (like many Math prof, but they're the best teachers!) and has a strong accent.  I had him two semesters so I got pretty used to his accent.  But because he had an accent, he also mixed up his wording sometimes.  They were the funniest things!! 

A friend of mine from class, Kristen, and I would hang out in the Underground Cafe (a little cafe at school that was literally underground, kind of) talking about his funny sayings. 

Of course I wrote several of them down.  Of course I'm going to share them with you!!  ;)

Alfaisms if you will.

• "Cheeseburger and a Jumbo Jet Machine" 
• That's right a cheeseburger AND specifically a JUMBO JET MACHINE
  

• "Tell your grandma"
• She might want to know what you're learning in Calculus
• "No tricks, no jokes, just pure math"
• For realzz
  
• "You find a skeleton of a dinosaur. In it's stomach you find Calculus book."
• He was talking about how long Math has been around.
  
• "Electric bracelet and I use my Mac to zap you"
• When we fall asleep
  
• "Guessing numbers with Grandma"
• A fun game for all!!
  
• "I just want to train you to be a good spy."
• See kids Math is actually helpful later on in life!
• "Sometimes, some cookies are too big to chew"
• True fact
  

• "Substract"
• Not Subtract
  
• "Sweeeeeet"
• Pronounced "Sweeeeeet"
  
• "I do not want answer from heaven"
• Those lovely answers that just come to you, but you can't quite solve because God helped you out.
  
• "Give this guy a Thanksgiving gift for helping you"
• I'm not sure...
  
• "Even though you love math, don't tell your partner you love math so much"
• They might get jealous
  
• "Later you're going to need to build a bridge from Newport to Boston"
• Again, I'm not sure
  
• "Dr. Jekell and Mrs. Hyde"
• ...
  
• "Gramma put GPS on you"
• For realzz?? 
  
• "Ohhh Maxima. Free"
• HAHAHA! So Maxima is this free math program we had to download and he was just reflecting on that fact, lol
  
• "From polar to rectangular with love"
• He actually wrote this one on the board
  
• "The Wall-E signal"
• He was talking about satellites and decided it was a signal for Wall-E

So this class was soo great.  Calc 2 was a lot harder so naturally I paid more attention to the funnier stuff.  He really said these things in class.  I think he was just trying to make class more interesting.  He was a great professor!
