//Hammond keeps commenting on how Schafer is teaching. Schafer: You're ruining this class! //Schafer returns to covering the photoelectric effect. Nino: Can I go to the bathroom? Schafer: _Can_ you go to the bathroom? I certainly hope so. Paul: May we get to that homework question? Schafer: Can I get through these notes first? Paul: I don't know; can you? //Class "ooh"s. Schafer: Well, actually, that's a fair question. Hammond: You know, I think you're doing a fine job of ruining this class yourself. You don't need me. Schafer: I have two words for you. Let's see if you can guess them. Hammond: "Thank you." Schafer: The two words are "salmon pickles," just so you know. Hammond: "Salmon pickles?" Schafer: Well, duh. What did you think they were? Hammond: I thought they were, "thank you." Schafer: Oh. I thought you were thanking me. Well, in any case, you're right about the second word. And the last letter of the first word. //Class "ooh"s.

//Discussing Newton's third law, how throwing stuff off a vehicle will get you moving Schafer: So you're in a college class, and the professor gives you some problem like this: "Say you take your girlfriend or your boyfriend for a boat ride in a pond. But, you lose your paddlers. How do you get back to land?" See, this question is just bad. Like, they want you to say something about taking off your clothes and throwing them out the boat, but you could just swim! In fact, you could probably wait a bit and eventually just drift back to shore. Billy Leete: Why don't you just throw your girlfriend out of the boat?
