we had a new teacher (well, new to our class) who had a ferodious rep. She was a tall, gaunt woman with the quickest toungue (literally and figuratively) I have ever heard. Famous quotes include:
- In other courses one feels like one is addressing an amorphuous mass
- All of you just bore me to death
- You little scum can't even muster the guts to speak up to me!
also, she was viciously anti-male. Must stem from her husband from the blackest, traditional Africa. I once asked her if she was like that at home, too, and she replied: Nah, at home I am quiet as a mouse. I'd have gotten kicked out otherwise long ago....
As you can see she had a great sense of humor though
She was more respected than feared. Still, the first lesson was a memorable one.
In the hall you could hear her heels go clickclickclickclick very fast - bad mood - uh-oh!
BAM! she slammed the door shut.
'So!I'vehaditalready! OnedayinthislunaticsasylumandIwanttoblowitallup!'
I'll use spaces now, but she talks without
'What???? Robert? Richie? What the **** are you doing here? Why did I flunk you last year, I was hoping I'd never see you again! OUT!!!! OUT!!!!!
OUT prophylactically!!!!!!!!'
'Hu? I didn't do a damn thing you idiot!' Rober gave back
'That's what prophylactically means, you dumba**, it means you WILL do something! OUT!!!!!!!'
from that day on we loved her!
