A real and true story about one of the terror of my Law School !! During exam times he was a real *beeeeep* !! Here are 2 exemples:

* after the end of the oral, he asked the student if he wanted to know his grade and of course the student said yes. The professor told him to go round his chair and said to him: "here is your grade" !!

* The worst story was regarding a pregnant student: he told her to go home because orals were meant for solely 1 candidate and not 2 !!

G I hated that professor !!

I need to translate some great quotes of a famous French politicien: Clemanceau aka the Tiger !! Will do this week end !!

Quote On !!

winston churchill was famous for his quotes.

at one point he was having a drink at some reception for whatever political party, in fact he'd been drinking quite a lot already, and the female chairman of another political party said to him "Mister Churchill, you're drunk!"

he replied: "Yes, and you're ugly, but, tomorrow i'll be sober again!"

Yeah, my history teacher's told us that one before. A definate classic.

Another Churchhill quip:

Lady Nancy Astor: If I was your wife, I'd put poison in your tea

Churchhill: Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it.

"There's no point in living... If you can't feel the life"

I think its: "There's no point in living, if you can't feel alive."

Steve

Hey, you're right!

Strange, I checked the lyrics of the soundtrack, it was "..if you can't feel the life" but I just checked the movie and it is indeed "alive".

Thanks for pointer! ;-)

I have a friend in Biology who happens to have a very funny teacher.

One day, the teacher was slightly late, so the students were stuck outside in the hallway.

One student, Gabby, was trying to open the locked door. The teacher came up, and said to

Gabby- "Insanity is the act of trying something over and over again, under the same circumstances,

expecting a different result." This quote fit perfectly to the situation, and of course every one started laughing. Gabby tried to save herself. "But, Mr. Miller, the door could have been jammed!" Mr. Miller just stared calmly at her until she quit blustering. "Gabby, I make fun of other students, but you just do it to yourself!"

There was another time when I was walking down the hallway, and overheard a loud conversation:

One girl was talking to her friends, and asked why it was always hotter upstairs. Her friend replied that this was because hot air rises. the girl answered this as follows: "oh really? I didn't know that!"

So sad... :'-(

Not to insult these people, of course. Gabby just had a bad moment (who hasn't tried to open a locked door?!)

I have a friend in Biology who happens to have a very funny teacher.

The GCSE art exams were on the other week. My form teacher asked a boy if he did art. The boy replied with 'no', to which my form teacher said: "Really, I'd have thought you would, being so creative. I mean, you're thinking up excuses as to why you're late." :-D

Some qoutes of the Great Walt Disney:

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

" Laughter is America's most important export. "

"People look at you and me to see what they are supposed to be. And, if we don't disappoint them, maybe, just maybe, they won't disappoint us. "

"The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique. "

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

"There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and at the bottom of the Spanish Main... and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life."

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. "

"When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable."

"When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. "

"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality. "

"You can't just let nature run wild. "

"You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. "

"You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."

"I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous. "

"I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it. "

"I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess."

"I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things."

"I believe in being an innovator."

"I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter."

"Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children. "

"All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them. "

"A man should never neglect his family for business."

Such an awe-inspiring man... :'-)

[Starwars4J]

Hm...yes, inspiring. As long as you weren't a woman or Jewish :-P

[Norro]

"The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique. "

I've never been a huge Disney fan, but that is quite a good line!

God Bless,

Yeah, some of those quotes were really cool. Here's one lyric I've always liked. Points for the one who guesses where it's from.

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me.

[Norrington]

Hm...yes, inspiring. As long as you weren't a woman or Jewish :-P

Good thing Im pretty sure I'm neither X-D

[dviddy]

"When I gave them food, they called me a saint. Yet when I asked why they had no food in the first place, they called me a communist."

"God created us in His image, and we decided to return the favor."

Though I taste my tears,

There is victory.

Love has conquered fear,

Truth will carry me.

Kelly's Heroes

Crapgame: Hey, Oddball, this is your moment of glory. And you're chickening out!

Oddball: To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three tigers.

Oddball: Hi, man.

Big Joe: What are you doing?

Oddball: I'm drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays, you know.

Big Joe: What's happening?

Oddball: Well, the tank's broke and they're trying to fix it.

Big Joe: Well, then, why the hell aren't you up there helping them?

Oddball: [chuckles] I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work.

Big Joe: Christ!

Oddball: Definitely an antisocial type. Woof, woof, woof! That's my other dog imitation

[Oddball sees that the bridge he wants to cross is intact and is pleased with himself]

Oddball: Still up!

[a plane flies over the bridge and bombs it... direct hit]

Oddball: No it ain't.

Crapgame: Him? Name's Kelly. Used to be a lieutenant, pretty good one, too, till they gave him orders to attack the wrong hill. Wiped out a half a company of G.I.'s. Somebody had to get the blame and he got picked.

Big Joe: [shouting to the captured German Colonel] Look! We're not worried about the German army, we've got enough troubles of our own. To the right General Patton, to the left the British Army, to the rear our own goddamn artillery, and besides all that it's raining. And the only good thing to say about the weather: it keeps our air corps from blowing us all to Hell because its too lousy to fly, versteh?

Col. Dumpkopf: [he understands] Ja, ja, versteh.

:-P

[El Bucanero]

'Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.'

Obi:"Only a sith deals in aboslutles"

Ani:"So... you're a sith to?"

Obi:"What!? No, of course not."

Ani:"Well, you said 'Only a sith deals in aboslutes', which in itself is an absolute"

Obi:"Touche"

"Life... is like an exploding whale. It goes up on you, and then it just falls to little smelly peices all over you!"

-me

I invented this quote after watching the great exploding whale in Florence, Oregon. Truly a stupid moment in history.
