Dr. Chen: You want to use different pronunciation of Euler?! *writes Oiler on the board* Is same as this! I never hear name "yooler" before!
Dr. Chen: He is Swiss! Publish over 70 books! If someone hear you say "Yooler", immediately know you don't know math! -

Student: Ever notice how random Mr. Waxman is? Just watch, in the next minute he'll go off on some unrelated tangent.
Mr. Waxman: ...anyway so Muslim politics can be tough. The Iranian government is pretty harsh.
*pause*
Mr. Waxman: But they have great picnics in Iran. They smoke tobacco, and, uh, other things out of these weird devices. I actually brought one of those back in my luggage. They held me up at immigrations, though, thought I was a drug dealer or something. Luckily I was able to bribe the security guards with some chocolate chip cookies.
Student: See what I mean? -
