My first English professor in college was incredible
(and eventually became a very good friend).
.
"My name," she said... as she wrote it on the board,
"is Dr. Dul. I will do my BEST to fail anyone who
ever 'misspells' it."
.
She then went on to disprove her name in no uncertain
terms. She introduced us to brainstorming and gave us
the topic of "Sex" and had us yell out our ideas.
.
Being timid and uncertain and relatively 'correct', we
half-heartedly 'shouted' out ideas like 'arousal' and
'caressing' and 'nipples'.
.
She put up with this for a while (she later told me
it's what happens EVERY time she introduces this).
.
Finally, she got down from her perch on her desk and
shouted, "NONONONO, you boring people!!!"
.
And wrote this on the board while enunciating each
and every word with FEELING:
.
"ORANGE"
.
"FLAVORED"
.
"ORGY"
.
"BUTTER".
She turned to us and very calmly said, "YOUR turn."
.
.
.
And we were
OFF.
.
It was incredibly fun, funny and instructive (in so
many ways).

Any "Don't judge a book by its cover" stories out there?
