We were in our intro physics class and the prof was talking about ideal gas. He asked what are the qualities of ideal gas to which I replied "quiet and not smelly". Classroom exploded

Friend of mine once walked into class several minutes late, when asked by the teacher why he was late he very calmly announced "because I am not early."
