> ::: spoiler Transcription > (We're taking a calculus final. The TA is a well-known Lord of the Rings fan, and we've had running LotR jokes all semester.) > > TA: "Okay, guys, everyone look at me. We've been over the rules, but just in case: no notes, pencil your answers in on the scantron sheet, and graphing calculators only – no more 'can I just used my cell phone' nonsense." > > Student: "[TA's name], my calculator batteries just died! What should I do?" > > TA: "Here, I've got a big box of spares." > > Student: \struggling\ "I can't get this packaging open..." > > Student 2: "Here, I've got a pocket knife." > > TA: "And I've got a pair of scissors if you need them." > > Student 3: from the back of the room "OR MY AXE!" > > (Everyone starts laughing.) > > TA: "The only axes allowed on the exam are in the graph section." > > (Everyone groans.) > > TA: "Oh, come on, you're in a math class. Deal with the math jokes." > (The professor enters with a stack of exams. With him are two exam proctors.) > > Professor: "Tolkien jokes already, [TA's name]?" > > TA: "Hey, I didn't start it." > > (The professor starts handing stacks of exams to the TA and proctors.) > > Professor: "But I'm about to finish it. [TA], take these exams down the left flank. [Proctor 1], follow the desks down the center. [Proctor 2], take your exams right, along the wall." > > (At this point, many of the students have realized where this is going: Theoden's lines from 'Return of the King.") > > Professor: "Forth, and fear no problems! Solve! Solve, students of calculus! Points shall be taken, scores shall be splintered! A pencil day! A red-ink day! Until three thirty!" > > (The professor pulls out a pencil, holding it out like a sword, and runs down the first row holding it out. Students hold up their pencils, hitting his as he passes.) > > Professor: "Solve now! Solve now! Solve to good grades and the class ending! MAAATH!" > > Entire Class: "MAAATH!" > > Professor: "MAAAAATH!" > > Entire Class: "MAAAAAATH!" > > Professor: "Forth, exam-takers!" > > (The entire class rises to their feet and gives him a standing ovation. A week later, we get an email from the professor.) > > Professor: \at the end of the email\ "PS: I appreciate all of you who wrote in their evaluations that I was the one professor to rule them all, but the best one yet was the student who called me 'Mathrandir.'" > :::
