Greatest Assignment Evarz!1!

One of my duties as a grad student is to mark undergraduate physics assignments. This is usually a pain in the ass, but every so often I get an assignment that not only sucks, but is actually entertaining.

In this case, it was a doodle in one of my Phys 111 assignments. It shows two situations, one in which two boys are writing on a chalkboard, and one in which one boy and one girl are writing on a chalkboard. In the first case, one of the boys has claimed that the indefinite integral of x^2 is Pi (it's not, just so you know). The other boy then says "Wow, you suck at math!"

In the other case, the girl has written the exact same thing. The boy in that case says "Wow, girls suck at math!"

Simple. Beautiful. And with logic perfectly applicable to many other situations.

For example:
#1

MAN HOLDING BIBLE KICKS PUPPY.

MAN #2: You're an asshole!

#2

MAN HOLDING THE GOD DELUSION KICKS PUPPY.

MAN #2: Atheists are assholes!


(Note: Replace "The God Delusion" with "The Koran", "Atheists" with "Muslims" and, if you like, "Assholes" with "Terrorists" and it works just as well)

Or how about:
#1

WHITE MAN ROBS BANK.

OLD WOMAN: What a horrid fellow!

#2

BLACK MAN ROBS BANK.

OLD WOMAN: Oh, those Negroes.

OLD WOMAN CHCUCKLES.

#3

ASIAN MAN ROBS BANK.

OLD WOMAN: INTERN HIM!!!


Don't you just love it when your entire worldview comes in "Fill-in-the-Blank" form?
