Textbooks and college quotes

Bought some schoolbooks today on Amazon. Didn't save as much as I'd hoped to. I know $200 a semester is nothing compared to what most college students spend on textbooks, however I am a cheap homeschooler who has been exposed to a mother who usually gets knock-down prices on things as a matter of course, and I'm rather purturbed that $160 was as far down as I could go this semester on books.
However, as I find myself once again preparing for acadamia, it occured to me that I did not put last semester's quotes up yet, so shall rectify this situation post-haste.
Some are deep, some are funny. Hope you enjoy.

"If you are too open minded, your brains will fall out." Professor of Psychology.

"I expect you to be HERE! (present at class) Unless you're like, nearly dead... or in a car accident." Professor of music

"The difference between zoo's in China and zoo's in the rest of the world? In China they have plaques with descriptions of the animals. Oh, and the recipie for it." Professor of Missiology

"Microsoft Word has a mind of its own... and it will argue with you. And... sometimes you need to wrastle it to the ground." Professor of English

"Do you all hear music? If someone is listening to music on their laptop, could you at least turn it up so I can hear it too?" Professor of Psychology

"I mean, you see the Spirit of the Lord come upon Sampson when he kills the philistines with the jawbone of an ass. And.. Sorry!! I grew up with the King James version! I MEANT DONKEY!! Donkey, donkey, DONKEY!!" Professor of Ancient History.

"I need you to be engaged, not just blood flowing through your veins, breathing, NO! Drink a red bull, coffee, do jumping jacks, guys hit each other... be engaged!!" Prof of Music

"Our ministry is not to be a missionary. Our ministry is not to plant churches. Our ministry is people. We have to remember the PEOPLE are the reason we are there.... If you ever get to the point in your ministry where you are no longer a learner, get out of the ministry.... you can't understand someone until you learn from, about, and with them." Prof of Missiology

"Argumentation is having a slight edge that answers that little creature sitting on your shoulder saying, 'so what?'" Prof of English

"Superpower: A nation who is asked by other nations what their reaction will be when actions are taken." Prof of Ancient History

"It is not enough to be flexible, because there is a point in which you've bent so far that you break. You need to be fluid because fluid can go anywhere and not worry about breaking."
Friend of prof of Missiology.

"Oops... I just... dislogged someone's... technical ... situation." Prof of Psychology when he tripped over a laptop's cord.

" 'Church'es' is not a contraction! It doesn't exist! Not on THIS side of heaven, not on THAT side of heaven! And if you want to get past the Pearly Gate, don't do this! It is a SIN! I know you think all sins are forgiveable, but I have news for you. All but that one!" English professor

"Did you hear the one about the pastor who was dreaming that he was preaching... and he woke up and found out that he was?" Prof of Ancient History.

"By the time you get to Bible College, you are just pagans who have imbibed Christian principles. We need to get rid of your paganism and turn you into real authentic disciples!" Prof of Psych

Prof: Who drinks Orange juice with pastries?!
Student: Well, what do you wash down the sweet with?
Prof: Coffee!! Black coffee to wash down the sweet!!

"... and we were like, 'oh maaaan... it'd be SO nice to have a boyfriend; then he could do all this dirty work!' but then I said, 'No! We are independant women! We aren't happy about that, BUT we must live into that and maintain our reputation!!" Student.
