Ok in math today we were doing algebra (which i'm good at) and one of the equations equaled 20bc. I immedialitly thought 20 border collies :rolleyes:

Can you see how this is going?

Of course he asks me the answer to this particular question ....

And I said " 20 Border Collies" :rofl1::rofl1:

So I had to stay behind after class and get a lecture on paying attention.

But of course ... what else would you think? :p

Sheesh!! What a sour temperament on that instructor. :mad:

Being punitive in that situation didn't teach you or the rest of the class anything!! Although attention may have been a temporary issue ... after hearing "20 Border Collies" no one in the class will EVER forget the answer to that equation! That could have led to a productive discussion of memory devices often helpful to students in remembering formulas ... because it's a proven fact that the stranger the image, the better it's remembered. :)
