Dumb statements you didn't think you'd hear in college

[jkamowitz]

Coming into college, I remember thinking about the brilliant professors/students I was about to meet. I also remember my disapointment upon hearing these gems:

Ethics 101: My professor is off-the-boat Irish. Raised in Dublin, Trinity University, etc. One day. . .
Girl: When did you come to America? You don't have an accent.
Boy: Are you deaf? He's obviously got an accent.
Girl: I just don't hear it.
Boy: Of course he does; he says Kant instead of can't.
Me: It's pronounced Kant.
Boy: No. . that's just his accent.

Baroque art history: The class preceeding ours is Arabic.
Girl: (pointing to what's on the board) What is that?
Me: what?
Girl: What language is that? German?
Me: It's Arabic.
Girl: Oh my god! That's Arabic?!

Anyone else remember awesomely dumb collegiate quotes?
