//Mid-lecture in physics class
*cellphone rings*
*class goes silent, everyone looks at the culprit, who pretends they don't know whats going on*
Forbes: *Picks up hammer, starts slowly walking towards phone*
Student: *turns off*
Student: Sorry!
Forbes: You like my hammer? -

// During AP Physics
Dr. Dell: In most of the problems that we do, we're dealing with just one particle. Now this makes the math nice but it also leads to the seductive thought that the potential energy is OF the particle, which is NOT true! Don't give in to this seduction! ...because then you'll be pregnant with bad ideas. -

Dr. Walker: Now these bank turn problems probably won't show up in the unit test. They take up far too much time and are very complicated.
Dr. Walker: However, if they do show up... YOU'RE SCREWED!!!
Dr. Walker: So learn it anyway.
// Proceeds to write up the solution to a bank turn problem that takes up 2 white boards -

// Doing the centripetal force demo (swinging a small platform by strings, an object is held on the platform)
Mr. Rose: Now I'm going to do this with a cup of water.
Class: Can you really do that?
Mr. Rose: *starts swinging* Sure, my hand-eye coordination is--
// Cup flies off the platform and at a student, spilling the water everywhere. -

// AP Physics, a student is asleep
Dr. Dell: So, if I drop this stapler *drops stapler from one hand to the other* it accelerates at 9.81 meters per second squared. If I drop this chair *picks up empty chair and drops it on the floor* it accelerates at 9.81 meters per second squared. If I were to take this sleeping student and drop him, he would accelerate at 9.81 meters per second squared. -

// Warming up and throwing before Ultimate practice
// Baggy (Mr. Bagden) has been trying to get us to stop being nerds all season.
Sean: Hey Baggy, you know what's crazy? Relativity.
Mr. Bagden: No, really?
Sean: Yeah, but I understand the light clock experiment.
Mr. Bagden: I find you don't really get it until you construct a time-space field--NO! WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW! -

// Doing wave labs in physics; A, B, and C are students.
Mr. Forbes: Well, I know you've been having trouble getting a good refraction pattern on Lab 4, so I want to show you guys a really good one. Come and see [A,B, and C]'s wave tank!
*everyone crowds around*
Mr. Forbes: Mr. Rose! Come in and see this!
*Mr. Rose comes in*
A: Can we leave this up all week?
B: Yeah, this is the best we've done in physics all year!
C: I should have brought my camera.
Forbes: Tell you what...we can keep it up and take readings for 5 days--
Rose: --once an hour--
Forbes: --and track the index of refraction--
Rose: --and figure out a formula--
Forbes & Rose together: --to correlate index of refraction to evaporation rate!!
Class: *silence*
A: Eeeeew...
B: o_0
C: Physics teachers... *rolls eyes* -

// Wire in a magnetic field
Dr. Dell: So which way will the current go, clockwise or counterclockwise?
// People mess with the right-hand-rule
Student: Counter-clockwise
Dr. Dell: How many people vote counter-clockwise?
// People raise their hands
Dr. Dell: Good, so do I. So the current is going counterclockwise...
// Dell resumes lecturing for a few seconds
Dr. Dell: Wait, no, it's clockwise.
