Hilarious

My Stats professor seems really nice. She's the "perky and cute" sort and the only time she seems to get peeved is when she asks a question and it is followed by a long silence. No one likes to talk in that class - I think it's too early in the morning for critical thinking (10 AM).

Today, she was teaching us about probability or somesuch, and she was creating an example for us to learn from, when she said, "Okay, I need the name of a crazy girl!" The example, you see, involved a garden with carefully measured plants. "What is the probability you will get a plant that is more than 8 inches tall" etc. What sort of person would measure all the plants in their garden? A nutcase, that's who. And we must have a name for this hithertofore anonymous nutcase.

In response to Dr. Bashaw's question, one of the other students shouted out, "Margaret!" Yes, I apparently have a name with "looney tunes" written all over it. The professor knows what my name is and she replied, "Oh, we have some of those in here, so I'm sure they'll be happy." It was quite amusing. And for the rest of the day I got to hear about "Margaret's garden" which made me jump nearly every time, thinking I was being addressed, since that name isn't exactly common nowadays.

The crazy girl is going to bed now.
