My torts professor is the most adorable, grandfatherly man ever. He has been teaching at my law school for over 35 years.

Usually he is very good about letting class out on-time. (It's our crim law professor who always goes over 5-10 minutes). But today he talked and talked and talked. We were supposed to be let out at 10:15, but it was 10:25 and he was still talking.

People started getting fidgety and annoyed. We had crim law at 10:30, so basically the entire class was going to be late. (Though come to think of it, that would have been pretty funny, too.)

Finally, the professor stopped, looked at the clock, and muttered: "The class is supposed to be over at 10:15, isn't it?"

We nodded, and he said with a straight face:

"Okay, so we have another 24 hours or so."

I love this man.
