Hinkle (imitating student): Hinkle, teach! Teach math now! Hinkle: Uhh... that actually happened once. Should I say who it was? Ahh... well, it was an administrator lady -- not here -- at a little place called Eastern Middle School. 'You're a teacher, teachers teach, you go teach math!' Maybe if I had a Promethean board...

Hinkle: Let me just say: when I went to Ohio State, I had to take two math courses. Ladies and gentlemen, I will be very honest with you. I'm sorry to say that I passed that class because the young lady who sat next to me had large handwriting.

Hinkle: When I was poor, I wouldn't like to stand on the corner and go 'give me money'. I had to go -- I had to go out and do my own thing, y'know?

//a student in the front of the room is using nail polish remover Hinkle: I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to put that away. You see, that has a little thing called acetone in it. Me and acetone, huh-uh. I did a lot of work on boats when I was a kid -- lots of fiberglass work. Lots of acetone. And lemme tell ya -- breathing that stuff every day, it messes you up. I would be all woozy and I couldn't walk straight after I got off from work. Later, OSHA came along and said 'no no no, you need a respirator and ventilation and fifteen minute exposure limits', but we didn't do things that way when I was a kid.
