Two new favorite quotes in one day!

First, from troyswann, on dealing with blame-flinging students: "I put the food on the plate in front of you, but, Damnit Jim, I'm a professor, not a digestive tract."

Second, from bradrandall (or, actually bradrandall's grandfather) on politics: "Politics are like underwear, everybody wears a certain style and we don't show it off in public."
