Phossdey reminds me to repost this funny survey comment on Prof. Goel during my 2004 class at NTU (Singapore). I’m glad I was in that class too (LT23). He is a very good lecturer - not allowing people to talk on the phone, clearly explaining his point but he talks very fast.

You gotta watch this. It may bright up your day. And thanks to Phossdey for the hint (totally forget about this)

Ps: by the way, Steve, I got your two classical music CDs, you sent to me! This is the first time I have the taste of classical music!!! :]

TEACHER : Why are you late?
BALGOBIN : Because of the sign.
TEACHER : What sign?
BALGOBIN : The one that says, “School Ahead, Go Slow.”

——————————————————–
TEACHER : Balgobin, why are you doing your math sums
on the floor?
BALGOBIN : You told me to do it without using tables!

One day in one classroom, three students were discussing about an issue…

First Student: “Look. The issue is whether…..”
Second Student: “No, actually, the issue is ….”
Third Student: “Hold on…what we really need to determine is….”

Sounds familiar?
Why people has so much trouble identifying issue?
