I bet this never happened to anyone on the first day of class!

Well, freshman year, I had Dr. Burnaby Munson, who is a very funny teacher that is 70-80 years old.
At 9:30 Tu/Tr mornings. I also had an 8:00 am calc thingie. In the fall semester.
So, one day, I was really tired. Had been watching adult swim till three that morning, and didnt want to fall asleep in Munson's class. It was also snowing heavily, so I had my great big warm coat on. So, I went to the classroom straight after I got done with calc, laid down in the back with my backpack as a pillow, and went to sleep, figgering I'd be woken up by someone as class began at 9:25 or so.
At 10:40, I woke up when Dr. Munson announced he'd be passing out last week's quizzes.
Apparently, he'd given specific instructions "not to wake the bear" (as I was called for the hair I have which is exactly like what is in my character except for the color). He'd then proceeded to jump, yell, shout, etc for the entire time. Gave his livliest lecture in years. And then tried to get everyone to leave quietly so I'd sleep into the next class period and wake up confused. 20 more minutes and that's what woulda happened. I still haven't lived it down.
And I slept through it all. On his command. And I picked up the nickname "the bear".
The only reason I didn't get in trouble in the class is that I was asleep before anyone entered the room, a good 30-40 minutes before class.

That was great... I had a high school teacher who would sneak up on you and drop a pile of text books right next to you, and proceed to say, "Boom! Son, you're blown up!" He couldn't get out of his Vietnam phase. He lost a foot over there and was obsessed with "blowing people up" whenever then missed a question in lecture or for whatever reason he saw fit.

Just this Friday he asked us, "Have you ever noticed how some of us are a little darker than others?" He then proceeded to tell us about how Phaethon was driving his father's sun chariot across the sky and got a little out of control. When he dipped down over Africa the inhibtants, uhh, got a little roasted. The funniest part was when one of the "darker students" asked him, "So you telling me dat I got burnt?" The class erupted in laughter.

Sounds like you all have fun
I study by correspondence so I only have actual lectures at my university twice a year. The weirdest subject we had was 'Concepts of Modern Science'. We came to our winter lectures and saw that subject in the list of our exams. Of course, since nobody knew about it, no one got ready for the exam. We also found out that we had one lecture before the exam. So we came in to the lecture and our professor started stating some ancient theories, but then suddenly stopped in mid-sentence and said: "Never mind. Why the heck did they put this as an exam anyway? You don't need this useless information.." He then proceeded to tell us about how grateful he is for his wife being an engineer because if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have been able to fix their fridge
Needless to say, he passed us all on the exam XD
God bless you!

I remember when i took US History a few yrs ago... the history instructor I had would lecture from standing on top of the table in front of the lecture hall and jump off when talking about some war scene. It was crazy. Although my favorite was when i started taking child development classes ( studying to be a teacher and I currently teach preschool) . The one that i was taking at the time was music and movement.... we'd come into class singing songs. At the beginning of the semester she taught us parachute games.. and we had to go outside on the quad and play them and sing songs while everyone else walked to class! lol

heh, my stats teacher was like that too. we could use our notes, our books, books from other classes, labs, the internet, previous tests. but that was for the lab portion. (i took his class for intro to stats and advanced.) in intro, the written test was open-brain only. but advanced, it was basically just a lab class, so the written and lab were the same test.How about this...
I'm a seminary student and my Greek professor professor let us use our notes and everything for a test! That was one test I got a 100% on!

Ok here's the latest update on my nutty professor. He brought a hollowed out gourd to class today and proceeded to play our fight song in it.

My Human Body Perspectives lecture teacher is pretty cool:
1. If someone's cell phone rings during class, he dances to the ringtone.
2. He threatens to charge students who walk through our classroom to get to the classroom next door a 25 cent toll.
3. If someone gets to class late and can't get in because the door locked itself(the doors are electronic and the door to our classroom is a bit glitchy), he goes up to the door and makes funny faces at the person through the window before he lets them in.
4. He makes lots of funny comments.
5. Before every test, we have a review class, during which he literally stands at the front of his class with the test in his hands and tells us 50 "example questions" or "things you should know" and essentially gives us every question and answer that's on the test.

In humanities my prof. is wonderful. Once we all sat on one side of the room and Reno sat in Prof. Frazier's chair. so first my prof went to the back and had Reno teach and then he went and stood on his desk in the front and Reno stood up in front of him.. Then Frazier went to get on Reno's shoulders but it didn't work so he instead was gently lifted down by Reno (who by the way is a 6 foot few inch football player) (Frazier is short and smallerish...)
It was just funny and every class has something outrageous like that.

My world history teacher was a crack up! She was talking about the history of the roman rule and the celtic tribes of that time. I guess she wanted to demonstrate how great the warrior queen "Boudicca" was. She would have a class assistant turn on enya music before she came into the door. She opened the door and yelled a warriors cry. It scared us all I sware! She was dressed up in a celtic print dress and a red wig. Then after that she ordered us to take our shoes off so she could look at our feet. Our feet were suppose to represent different cultures by the way they were shaped or how narrow it was. hahahaha She is the BEST history teacher around!

First day of Psych class went like this:
Teach: So you're name is Meredith, eh? Like, Meredith Grey, from Grey's Anatomy? She's such a s!ut! Are you a s!ut like Grey, Meredith? How many boyfriends do you have?
Me: 
(Sorry for the silly spelling.. Have to get around the filter somehow.)

i've had a professor swear casually in class.... weird. But she was the best speech teacher there was on campus. The other one just scared me- i had him for Cas201 (Rhetorical Theory). He made us watch the news and keep a special notebook.....
Right now i am in Mass Communications Law- besides the fact we all want to get rid of this professor (she is biased and singles students out), she has had some pretty fun classes.... one in particular was weird.
She wanted to illustrate nudity in the media.... (yeah, can you tell where this went?). So, she made a power point full of nude pictures. First she asked if anyone wanted to leave her class before she started teaching.... um, i am always afraid to leave because she only allows so many absences.... plus, had i left, some of these things might have ended up on the final! We had a great class discussion on the photos she had shown, and there were only a few obscene ones i wished i wouldnt have seen.
