Lack Of Knowledge Is Very Very Frightening

(I’m in physics class, learning about acceleration. One of the questions on our test, which we’re taking at the time, has the answer of Galileo. The teacher is walking around the room, watching the class, and singing quietly to himself.)

Teacher: “I see a little silhouetto of a man. Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?”

(I quickly catch onto what he’s doing and write down the right answer as he keeps singing the song, skipping the name.)

Student: *raises hand* “Um, what’s the answer to number two?”

Teacher: “Seriously? After the singing and everything?”

Student: “…what?”

Me: “It’s Bohemian Rhapsody, for God’s sake!”

(There’s a pause, and no one seems to understand what that has to do with anything.)

Teacher: “OH MY GOD! GALILEO! THE ANSWER IS GALILEO! I give up.”
