Silliest answer someone has said in class?

Today was my first day of micro. Our instructor asked the class "what is the name of the bacteria that is the number one cause of UTI's?"
A student answered Ebola.
Share your funnies from class.

I'm guessing he meant E. Coli? Lol.

I honest to god think he did mean ebola because then he got off on a tangent about Africa.

If you have a good sense of humor, and a willingness to see the world from a wider-angle lens than most of your classmates, you'll get some serious enjoyment over how "knowledgeable" most of them are going to try to appear to be. Before taking a single nursing class

Have fun!

I've already taken nursing classes. I am an LPN. I'm doing micro for my RN. However, my classmates in there are pre-nursing students who have not taken a nursing class. I might sit out most of the discussions just to silently giggle.

My husband teaches on the college level. The absolute winner in my mind was when he asked his usual, "OK, that's the end of the pre-exam review. Does anyone have any questions?"

One male student raised his hand. My husband asked what is question was. He asked, "We were talking last night. How long should sex take?"

My husband has a reputation for being unflappable and somehow kept his cool and simply answered, "It varies from time to time."

He says that since then, when he asks if there are any questions, he holds his breath until he has heard the question!

Ok, so what the hell does your husband TEACH?!

What the **** does my husband each? English Lit and occasionally a Comp course, and he has also taught French in a pinch.

I'm not sure this qualifies, but one of the funniest class moments I recall was when our genetics professor was talking about alcoholism as it relates to family genetics. It was a something of a serious moment, the class sitting silently as he spoke.

Somewhere in the middle of his lecture, he asked our lecture hall (full of mostly college freshmen, mind you), "Does anyone here know someone who's an alcoholic?"

We all watched as a few hands went up and the prof scanned the room. Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief and he called to a student in the back: "For heaven's sake, don't point!"
