... that reminds me of the music lecturer in college (the elective that should have come with a refund).

He mumbled when he talked. My roommate - who talked me into taking this idiotic course with him "for fun" - and I were constantly asking each other, "Did you get that? What did he just say?"

The whole class pretty much wrote: "YOU MUMBLE" on the mid-term review forms.

First class back, he spoke loudly, clearly, with crisp diction, and with indignant anger: "If you cannot hear me, sit in the front row, and raise your hand if you still have problems."

On and on he went about how he did not mumble.

Rant over, he brought up that day's lecture slides ... and was back to the same old, same old.

My roommate and I burst out laughing, got the giggles, and ended up having to walk out of the lecture hall.
