True story.....my freshman year at WFU, my first class as a student was "History of the English Language". 25 bright inquiring minds were sitting in that class when the Professor walked in, introduced himself, and then proceeded to write "FUCK" on the blackboard ( I know I'm ancient). He turned and asked the class what we thought that word meant and how did it get its place in the English language. You could have heard a feather hit the floor it was so quiet in that classroom. The next scheduled class, I walked in and discovered that there were now only 5 of us left, everyone else had dropped the class. The professor walked in, looked around and said "that's better". Best class I had in my 4 years.
Other than the former Playboy playmate who was my French teacher.....but that's another story.
