Stuff that makes you laugh in class

[UTCobra]

I'm talking really immature stuff, like taking something totally out of context (or in context from Perv Profs) in a perverted way. I know we are supposed to be all professional, but I still like potty humor.

1. My example is from a student run Micro review. The presenter was talking about bacteria and zoonotics. She said the bacteria can be found in "Meat packing plants." I snickered, but so did the guy next to me, and we just started laughing at each other, then she said its also common in people involved with "Animal husbandry." I lost it.

2. Prof told us a good way to remember Parasympathetic and Sympathetic for the penis (Para for arousal, and symp for ejaculation). He said "Point and Shoot"

Just curious if anyone else is as immature as me.

I laugh to myself every time anyone says "load" in biochemistry (as in methionine load test). If thats not the epitome of immature...I don't know what is.

What are you gonna do laugh your head off, when a pt throws his genitalia your way during a pelvic exam.

Yes, pelvic exams are HILARIOUS. Get a sense of humor.

Well, I knew it was coming, but only 2 posts before someone had to say something. This is a thread about things that make you laugh in class. If you don't laugh at anything in class, then don't post. You can't take everything so seriously. There is a difference btwn a lecture and a patient. And I would personally prefer a doctor with a sense of humor.

And no I wouldn't laugh if a patient threw his genitalia at me. I would move because I didn't want to get hit (especially by flying genitalia). Then I would give him a stern lecture about throwing things and how its only funny until someone loses an eye. Then I would hand him back his genitalia and tell him to be more careful with it, and not to play with it to much or he'll go blind.

I read the first line of this paragraph and was like...oh no, another pi$$ing contest is about to start. Then I read the second sentence!!! LMAO!

How old are you?

 

[G0S2]

How old are you?

Well I am 30 and I will start med school this summer. I find this stuff funny. I also agree that I would prefer a doc with a sense of humor rather than one with a rod stuck up his/her's arse.

I started laughing when we learned about the dUMP substrate in biochem.

Usually this type of thread doesn't go three posts without the words gubernaculum and cremaster showing up.

I'm 30 and I still think farting is hilarious. Especially when done properly under the sheets and I stuff my wife's head under the covers and watch her flail.

Ah yes, the old Dutch oven

 

[45408]

eh, slightly related note, here's a joke my molecular prof told us

Three engineers were arguing about what kind of engineer God must be. The first said that God must be an electrical engineer. "Just think of the electrical system in the body. The nerves, the axons, the miles and miles of it all connected together. Surely God is an EE." The second said that God was definitely a mechanical engineer. "C'mon now, one look at the levers and joints in the body should convince you that God is a mechanical engineer."

The last one said that God is without a doubt a civil engineer. "Who else could route a major waste disposal system right through the main entertainment district?"

 

[Elysium]

This thread is awesome! My friends and I clown on just about everything during lecture, mostly because the PhDs are so f-ing lame that we have to do something to pass the time. Let's see - we like Sonic Hedgehog, just because it's so absurd and goes to show how ridiculous embryo truly is, the pundenel nerve (and we haven't started pelvis yet, we made one our classmates teach it to us for fun), sustentacular cells (stupid, but funny), substantia nigra ("substania nigra please!"), the fact that the brainstem and the cerberellum look like a weiner and balls in the pics from the Neuro atlas (which I giggle about every time he puts it up on the board). I could go on, but won't. You see the point.

And yes, I'm 31.

"pneumonic"!!!!!!!!! now that one is really funny one I think u mean to see mnemonic

Spelling is not my virtue and I can always fall back on the fact that english is my second language so at least I have an excuse. And I plan to use it.

But speaking of "mnemonics," if that is indeed the correct spellling, I just remembered another one for the carpal bones:

Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle (this one came directly from one of our anatomy profs.)

[sapience8x]

i hate to laugh AT people but we have a professor who lectures with his eyes closed. i did'nt even notice it until one of my friends pointed it out to me. Now i can't keep a striaght face! mostly becuase I can't undertsand how someone can keep their eyes clsoed that long, talk on a boring topic and not fall asleep!

 

[hakksar]

I crack up when the profs pronounce something funny. Like the other day the prof pronounce hemoglobin like he-mo-glahh-bin instead of he-mo-glow-bin like 6 times. Luckily I was able to bite my lip until the 6th time.

and I am 26 y/o

I was taught, "Always Please The Monkey."

 

[InNotOf]

This mnemonic for the bones in the hand is pretty funny:

Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle.

 

[malumd2b]

in our anatomy someone made the mnemonic for carpals and tarsals as:

Suzie Loves The Penis That Tom Calls Hector
-every time the hand came up we'd all just laugh to ourselves and the professor couldn't understand why,

and
The Counting Crows Never Made It Long

 

[Explosivo]

No mnemonics here but...

The term hematochezia cracks me up. I happen to be Greek and "-chezia" literally means "to take a ****." The term chezia is very commonly involved in certain Greek insults which I guess is why I crack up when I hear it. Btw, I got creative and coined the new term "polychezia"...couldn't find it on Google so i'm claiming it...had a buddy of mine in stitches when I first used it to describe his bowel habits (we were in the midst of trading insults during lab one day, in good fun)...o.k. I'll shut up now...

P.S. This is my first post on SDN in nearly 2 years. What a way to make a comeback.

hey dude chill it. dont get so defensive. I am sorry if u feel offended & for ur kind information English is my third language. Talking about mnemonic for remembering carpal bone I also used following mnemonic: She is Too Pretty Try to catch her.

I had a physiology professor who talked exactly like Elmer Fudd. "And when the weceptah in the bwain is twiggahd, the neuwon..." I pissed myself, just couldn't take him seriously.

Speaking of pronounciations, at my school it seems like the entire anatomy faculty pronounces duodenum with the emphasis on the DE and umbilicus with the emphasis on the LICUS. Anyone else experience this?

Also one of our biochem professors has such a thick accent that every time he mentioned apo B proteins it sounded like he was talking about Applebee's

 

[thehomez66]

One of my professors the other day was talking about salivary glands and when he was talking about how much saliva they produce etc, but instead of saying saliva, he was saying salava. Next thing I know, my phone is vibrating with a few text messages that read nothing but “SALAVA” half the class was dying laughing and the prof was just very confused. Mispronunciations are def the best

The word "canaliculous" makes me laugh every. single. time. And I got a great deal of enjoyment from the Simbryo porn music soundtrack.

And of course, when the course director can't stay awake in lecture I feel the need to point and laugh. If he can fall asleep, then so can I.

 

[Odaroloc]

I laughed every time our cardiac physio prof talked about when the ventricle "throws a premature beat."

 

[UTCobra]

That cracks me up. I've seen so many profs fall asleep in class. Why do they go?

 

[macdown]

Any time the words penis or vagina get mentioned I get a little giggly.

 

[Anandimide]

when my neuroanatomy prof (a woman that is probably 4'5" tall) was describing the "peripheral nervous system" in lecture and kept abbreviating it to the P-N-S. Now say it aloud and with a foreign accent...there was hardly anyone in lecture that wasn't fighting back a laugh....

Okay I'm not a current med student but I had to add to this one. In grad school we would often read papers from the Procedures of the National Academy of Science (PNAS). Usually people like to say abbreviated names, but somehow nobody ever sounded that one out...always made me laugh

hehe, thanks alot, glad you like

I just thought of another funny moment, in my undergrad gen chem class, our professor had a thick asian accent and whenever he would say electron it would sound like he's saying E-rection..... "When excited the E-rections gain energy and then emit photons to fall back down"

 

[jetproppilot]

HA! I cracked up when I read your post since I had a med school professor who sounded exactly the same! (U of Miami)

Sounds exactly like my pharm professor the first day she talked and the last time i came to class.

The only stories i have are from my friends who go to class:
-Person flails arms after falling asleep
-Instructor speaks of '***** discharge' when talking about trichomonas vaginalis (******ed...why can't he just say purulent like all the rest of the mature world?)

etc.

 

[katrinadams9]

For some reason whenever our prof says peduncle it makes me smirk. Also, does anyone else think of shampoo when they talk about the pontine sulcus?

oh c'mon..."*****" is such a better word in that instance!

Seen in the notes from a prof at Wayne State University:

Types of Astroglia
1. fibrous ASs
2. protoplasmic ASs


I'm wondering why they left out pompous ASs, bumbling ASs, drunk-off-his ASs... etc, etc.

Too lazy to check if this has been mentioned, but I find the anatomical snuff box amusing. I'm going to start using it for snorting cocaine now.
