I believe in finding your purpose in life and doing whatever it takes or you feel inside to fulfill it. I believe in the human spirit and am amazed at how strong and capable we are when confronted with challenges and opportunities.

So we're in class, about to do a problem in the introduction of partial derivatives, and suddenly Prof. Banchoff turns to the TA and says "Run up to my office and get some chalk, I can't do this without colored chalk." After the TA leaves the room, Prof. Banchoff turns to the class and says "Partial derivatives are about colored chalk."

If you can see where his prompt is going, congratulations! You're as much of a nerd as the rest of us in the class lauging were. Unfortunately his little prompt/lead-in/metaphor ended up going on for a few minutes until the very last person to get the joke was the girl being called on.
For those who don't know why this is funny: int(1/x) = ln(x), pronounced "natural log of x." Yes, it was that bad...

I have since learned that he says this every single time he teaches the class, but it is a great way to see who's still awake that day. This is in reference to calculating properties of AC circuits, beyond that, I don't remember.

Stated angrily in a Romanian accent while the class was distracted by a cardinal continuously braining itself against the window for the fourth day in a row during class. I swear, none of us in the room caught it. I only remembered her saying it and it occurring to me later how wonderfully random it was.
