it was actually kind of funny

So in my Ancient Political Thought class, my prof is going over The Clouds, which is this classical Greek comedy.. and classical Greek comedy is pretty vulgar. So my prof kind of acquires this manner of speech and, while trying to drill the theme of the play home to us, likes to use the phrase "SOCRATES TREATS JUSTICE LIKE SHIT!!" multiple times a

Wow. How inappropriate...and how funny!

It only got worse when we got to the reenactment. But he got his point across, so I guess even unconvential methods have their use :)

That is so amusing. One needs a prof like that every once in a while. I particularly like the part where it's like "She doesn't want to say it, she's ashamed." lol

He's pretty funny and while he's crazy at doing it, he gets people to understand what he's saying. Maybe if I don't transfer to AA this winter I will make it a point to take another class with him.

The shame part apparently launched nicely into the whole shameful/shameless aspect of the play, haha.

Lol, the Clouds. I never had to read it, but I've heard my Political Theory major friends talk about it enough.

It's way better than the other traditional pieces on Socrates.. meaning everything by Plato. Man do I hate Plato.

I'd have passed out from embarrassment. Or exploded from embarrassment. Is that possible?

[metalphoenix]

Luckily he excludes everyone like that so I wasn't TOO embarrassed? :/

I can't believe I actually said shit in an university classroom.
