MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM SOME OF MY PROFESSORS AT CLARKSON UNIVERSITY
------------------------------------------------------------------


Professor Satish Thatte, Software Tools


-- "This class is not about software tools."

-- "This is a common mistake that people repeatedly make until
they are beaten on the head ...."

-- "It's kind of like calculus--you just go through it and
learn it and don't worry about what good it's for."

-- "Hopefully you are all clear enough [on this] that you know
that you need to be confused here."

-- "Is this cure worse than the disease, or what?"

-- Upon the sound of a fire alarm in the Science Center:   "I
guess that means we should leave the building ... or else they
might arrest us or something."



Professor David Potter, Introduction to Computer Engineering


-- "I'm a subroutine 'Fred.'  I don't know what I'm supposed to
do."

-- "Lucky for the Wumpus, it has sticky feet."



Professor Abdul Jerri, Calculus III

-- "What's after H?"

-- "I hope I did not go too fast ... but now I am going to go
slow enough for your pleasure."

-- "The function happened to be beautiful.  That's all."

-- "This has the smell of x."



Professor Scott Fulton, Foundations



-- "x is a vegetable."

-- "These are words."

-- "Any other questions I can't answer off the top of my head?"



Professor Jack Geise, Contemporary Moral Issues


-- "There's one thing we know about all your futures: you're
going to die!  Why not hurry it on, do it now?"

-- "[That] sentence does not mean what the English language
says it means."

-- "I sent ten dollars to CARE and saved the millions."

-- "I enjoy giving F's in an arbitrary fashion, particularly to
those who deserve A's."

-- "They've got eight embryos in their custody, partially
developed, freeze-dried--you know, like Taster's Choice."

-- "My colleagues are such a delightful group of people.  We
never have any disagreements.  Of course, most of us aren't
on speaking terms."

-- "I can become even more bizarre if you want me to."
