What Now

I have to share this!

While in class today, my professor was talking about Neoclassicism. One of the paintings that we were looking at was based on a Greek legend about a young man who falls in love with his father's young wife and he's dying of longing for her. The teacher was trying to explain that the young man's reaction wasn't rational (well, duh) and based solely on emotions. However, to make his point, he said "So, you've got a thing going for your mom, right? So if that's the case, it's rational to get with your mom!" Of course, he was trying to get us to disagree.

The class down the hall gets out about fifteen minutes earlier than ours and the students were going past our door. About the time he said "So you've got a thing for your mom?" two students passed by and heard him. They looked so funny, and they sort of ran past. Then another two students came by when he said "So it's rational to get with your mom!" and they did the same thing! I was sitting right by the door and I saw all of this. It was hilarious. NOw they probably think Dr. Stewart is a true weirdo. Priceless.
