Mr. Dreyfus: You see, inductors are like segregationists. They always oppose any sort of change. And at first, they're very strong, and they succeed. But as time goes on, they get weaker, and they no longer have any effect.
Student: I thought you said inductors are like physics teachers!
Mr. Dreyfus: They are also like physics teachers...
*pause*
Mr. Dreyfus: Not that physics teachers are like segregationists!!
