Professor: [Writes complicated Ramsey problem on the board halfway through a sleepy lecture] This seems like a good problem. You have five minutes to do this.
Me: [chuckle]
Other students: [silence]
Professor: Wow, you all really have no sense of humor.

Professor: [Draws chaotic dynamic version of endogenous fluctuations in capital] See, in this case, k never quite approaches k*.
Me: [squint at the board]
Other students: [Laughter]
Me: What's so funny?
