"In the (hopefully) unlikely event that I should ever win such an award I would be forced to make a difficult decision: On any given day, feel that I can hold down my breakfast or I can accept a meaningless distinguished teaching award but I cannot do both."
-Prof Lewin (Calc II)
Also, what the heck is going on with all these freak professors not allowing us to use calculators? I bought this super cool fancy 
expensive calculator a year ago. But I couldn't use it in pre-calc (no calculators allowed!) Last semester I couldn't use it in Calc I (NO calculators allowed!). And now this semester my Calc II class also has a no calculator rule. What's next? Calc III? Differential equations?? If this keeps up, by the time I get into DE, I'll have forgotten how to turn the darn thing on, much less operate it (assuming I still know where it is!).

And then if you find yourself at a job that requires any complex calculations...they'll expect you to be johnny on the spot with a calculator.
Then they'll think I'm showing off when I say, "uuhhmmm... I don't know how to use a calculator. I can do it by hand real quick though if you want"
