Just listened to a kid in a 200s level university English course argue that the novel "The Exorcist" is really just an allegory for puberty, and that Pazuzu was really just Reagan's period.

Kid in French History: I've been to The Bastille. It is amazing. You can see the door they built while they were holding Marie Antoinette captive. It was half of her height, so that she would have to bend to her captors as she entered and exited.
Professor: Actually, The Bastille was torn down around 100 years ago. I think it is a bridge now.
There was a professor at my university who taught introductory macroeconomics. She was a notorious drunk and not a very good professor. We had 20 point curves on some exams because everyone would get so confused.
One of my buddies was visiting the TA at office hours before the 3rd test of the semester, which was the test right before the final. While he's sitting with the TA, the professor rolls out and says to the TA:
"Tom, this is the hardest effing test I've ever made"
my favorite has got to be when 4 weeks into a history course on WWII the professor asked someone which countries the United States was against in the war. they legit had no clue.

I remember one time where my class was filled with a bunch of dumbeffs who thought the word "Arab" was pronounced A-rab due to a rap song they heard. They said that rappers went to school, so the right pronunciation was, in fact, A-rab. My history teacher told them to get out of his class and go back to their English class.
