celine (Robert Fullmer):
"Terence, this is stupid stuff:
You eat your victuals fast enough;
There can't be much amiss, 'tis clear,
To see the rate you drink your beer.
But oh, good Lord, the verse you make,
It gives a chap the belly-ache.
The cow, the old cow, she is dead;
It sleeps well the horned head:
We poor lads, 'tis our turn now
To hear such tunes as killed the cow.
Pretty friendship 'tis to rhyme
Your friends to death before their time.
Moping, melancholy mad:
Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad."
-- A. E. Housman

From rec.humor.funny:
This happened in a class I was attending a few years ago.
While giving a lecture on the mechanics of momentum and kinetic energy
transfer, my physics professor noticed a student busily snoozing in the
fourth row of the auditorium. He turned to a girl sitting in the first
row and asked her what the result of a collision between two particles
with masses, velocities, and trajectories that he specified would be.
After a few seconds of thinking and calculating she came up with the
correct answer.
The professor then awoke the sleeping student and said, "You! Same
question!"
The student, a bit stunned and bleary eyed, looked around and replied,
"Same answer."
After the laughter died down the professor turned around and said, "OK,
you got me on that one, I won't call on you again..."
