25 Ways to Confuse Your Professors
1. Brush your teeth during class. While doing
so, raise your hand as if you have a question, and mumble
your question incoherently while brushing, spewing toothpaste
all over the place. If your professorobjects to your actions,
go on a tirade about proper oral hygiene.
2. Sit way at the back of the room, up against
the wall, to get as far away from your professor as possible.
While he/she is lecturing,
shout out things like, "What!?" and "Speak
up! You're mumbling!" If your professor advises you to
sit closer to the front, tell him/her you can't because you're
scouting the room for "assassins."
3. If you have an early morning class, get
there before anyone else, and bring a pillow, some blankets,
an air mattress, and an alarm clock. Wear your pajamas. Lie
down on the air mattress with the pillow and the blankets
and act like you're asleep. Have the alarm set for abouttwo
minutes into class. When it goes off, preferably very loudly,
hit the "snooze" button and go back to sleep. Keep
doing so for the duration of the class.
4. Dispute everything your professor says,
no matter how simple. Try to get him/her to "prove"
everything to you. Rant and rave about what a big liar your
professor is. Yell at students who are taking notes,saying,
"Stop writing down all these lies!"
5. Show up to class about ten minutes late.
Ride into the room on a bicycle, yell, "Look out!",
and crash into the blackboard. Get up,
take a seat, and act like nothing happened. Do this every
day.
6. Keep "accidentally" setting fires
at your desk. Burn notebooks, papers, or whatever you have
handy. Whenever you start a fire, no
matter how small it is, start yelling, "Fire! Fire!"
and run out ofthe room in a panic. Don't return for the rest
of class.
7. Hide somewhere inside the classroom. Wait
for your professor to take attendance. Don't come out when
he/she calls your name. Halfwaythrough class, jump out and
yell, "Just kidding! I'm here! Fooled you again!"
Sit down and be quiet for the rest of class.
8. Wrap yourself in bandages and come to class
in a wheelchair. Throughout class, cry a lot and moan things
like, "Why me?" and
"Please kill me!" Get up during class, like your
going to miraculously start walking. Instead, fall down, cry
out in pain, and wait for someone to help you back up. When
class is over, say, "I feel better now," leap up,
and run home.
9. Come to class with a jar full of angry
hornets. Five minutes into
class, release the hornets, scream, and run away.
10. Bring a vacuum to class. Halfway through
class, stand up and start using it. If your professor objects,
explain that you "can't standsitting in this pigsty any
longer." Keep vacuuming, grumbling angrily.
11. Bring a small cactus to class with you.
Raise your hand, and when you're called on, say that the cactus
has a question. Turn and lookat the cactus, as if you're waiting
for it to say something. After a few moments, shrug, and wait
for your professor to move on. Do this once a day, and become
increasingly irritated with the cactus every time, sighing
heavily and giving it evil looks when it fails to "speak."
When you leave the room after class, start yelling at the
cactus, "I can't believe you embarrassed me AGAIN...."
12. Every time your professor stutters, do
a shot. If he/she objects, explain that drinking games make
the class more interesting.
13. When your professor gives you a syllabus,
take it home, correct it, give it a grade, and return it to
the professor. Demand extra credit.
14. Come to class every day wearing scary
Halloween masks. Try to get your professor to guess who you
are. Shoot him/her with a water pistol, scream, and run around
the room knocking things over. Say,"Pretty scary, huh?"
15. Get the whole class to show up a few minutes
early, and throw a surprise party for your professor. Insist
that you can't start class until he/she has a piece of cake.
Keep asking people when the strippers are going to arrive.
16. Instead of taking notes, do an abstract
painting during every class. Call the paintings things like,
"Professor Acting Like Mr. Know-It-All" or "Idiot
Who Doesn't Know What The Hell He's Talking About." Give
the paintings to your professor as gifts.
17. Wait for your professor to mention a date,
and then yell out, "Bingo!" Apologize, and explain
that you got confused.
18. Carve a bust of your professor out of
cheese. Tie a ribbon around it, and present it to him/her
at the beginning of class. Demand extra credit.
19. Write your professor a note that says,
"I'm going to be about 15 minutes late. Go ahead and
start without me." Wait outside the building until the
time when class is supposed to begin. Tie the note to a rock,
and throw it through the window.
20. Write down everything that your professor
says, word for word. Thinkup a melody, and turn the words
into a song. Bring a guitar to class and perform the song
for the class. Explain to your professor that he/she is "very
inspiring."
21. Get a monkey, and bring it to class with
you. Tell your professor that you've hired the monkey to take
notes for you. Sit back and
relax during class, letting the monkey scribble on a piece
of paper.When it the times comes to write a paper or take
a test, write down things like, "I wish I had a banana"
and "I miss my tire swing." Assuming you get a bad
grade, angrily fire the monkey in front of your professor.
22. When you have to write a paper, get it
done early and mail it to your professor's house. From then
on, don't hand anything in, and blame it on the sluggishness
of the U.S. Postal Service.
23. Tell your professor that you'd like to
interview him/her for a writing class. Get him/her to tell
you his/her life story. Act interested,
and write down everything he/she says. Fabricate a few romantic
interludes and turn your efforts into a trashy romance novel.
Make copies for the entire class, and your professor. Demand
extra credit.
24. Draw hearts and flowers on the backs of
your papers and tests. Next to them, write things like, "You're
the best, even though you suck"and "You're the worst
professor in the world, but I still love you."
25. Start asking questions in a fake
foreign language. Act like your professor is stupid for not
being able to understand you. Get other
people in the class to start speaking the fake language too,
and have frequent discussions during class. Act like you're
really
interested in what you're discussing. If your professor tries
to interrupt or stop you, act annoyed and motion for him/her
to quiet down.
