(18,272 posts)56. Here's a funny story:
When I was in physical chemistry, I had trouble with all the advanced calculous. The professor moved very fast, so I would furiously scribble down what he wrote on the board, and I'd try to figure it out in the evening. I was afraid to ask a question, because I didn't want to ask a stupid question.
One day, the smartest kid in the class raised his hand and said, "Dr. Mac, what the hell are you talking about?" Everybody in the class let out a big sigh of relief. Apparently, no one understood what he was talking about, but we were all afraid of slowing the rest of the class down. The only student who did understand was a physics major who was just talking the course for fun.
