History, Humor, Math

My first envious thought: Yea, I would have sat in the front of that class. Then I remember reality. Maggie Butcher, Calculus, 3 walls of chalk board in a room full with 40 males. She filling up the walls with ‘varients of major calculus proofs’ .. Torture and no thoughts of any arousal possible, cruel and unusual. Forced me to seek extreme entertainment as to roadie to Bennington college, sleeping in bathtubs and winning pie eating contests (pineapple pie; 1st done, no hands.)

Then came the next year, our school went coed. Urinals became planters, and yes I fell in love. Then more colorful were the stories of Dr. Berger’s class on Comparative Biology…. reproductive systems - taught as if there were only a bunch of horny adolescent males. Sperm whale penis length —- a race across the room with a chalk trace only representing the length…. and howls of laughter …. and a few embarrassed grins from a few girls. It was the mention that some Africans had larger packages which sent the girls in disgust from the room and probably to the Dean’s office. ‘Hurry, ladies, the next plane to Africa leaves in about an hour.’ Well besides racist and sexist, it was spontaneoust. Ah an eastern education. Just the story of this story was enough to reassure a lusty heart… But Dr. Berger, discoverer of the ‘Berger Gland’ in the shark when he was at Woods Hole Oceanographic. It’s located next to the anus of the shark and if removed the shark cannot regulate the fresh/salt water in his system and he explodes. Well, rumor had it that old Berger just to get his name somewhere, put a cork in the anus, cut out this thing and sure enough the shark blew up. Only a few male adolescents really knew the secret story of the cork…. and Berger did nothing to quash the rumor…. so truth reigns.

Well, I did have Woody Constant as my Physics professor, his license plate was ‘QUARK’ on his Porsche 911. He took over the physics department from the former head in the 1950’s, and told that when he went into the desk in his new office, the old head of the department had this warm rock in his front draw… a piece of Radium. OOps. Woody was also the husband of the president’s daughter (pres. of the school) and as such he was the character Edward Albee used as Richard Burton in the play or novel, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? That’s random… but Woody was a good professor, and really like teaching. I still have his textbook. He was particularly excited about the future of Anti-matter energy and power. Maybe that had to do with some of his inadequacy in his home life, I dunno. Art is Life, or just an abbreviation of Art-hur, a name of someone living?
