Spiderman
There is never a dull day in Professor Jim’s finance class. I’ve been giving him a hardtime ever since last week when we had the discussion of hostile takeovers in the event that a company’s stock prices dropped too low. Someone buys out at least 51% of the company, calls a board meeting, votes him/herself in, changes the name of the company, fires all the employees, says we’re going to bottle water because it’s easy to do and people buy it, and we’re going to walk around mimicking spiderman. As he does a ti-kwan-do move instead of a spiderman move…this is where I chim in, show him how webslinging is really done and tell him he needs to work on his spiderman moves…you can’t do spiderman moves unless you’re going to do them right…
So, today in class, he brings up spiderman again, makes the comment that he knows he needs to work on his moves long before I can make a comment…he tells me to focus, and as we know, I ever so easily get distracted, I check my email…
It seems so appropriate that I got an email with this image in it, as we were talking about spiderman and it is halloween of course:
I share the image with a couple of the girls around me, and Professor Jim asks what I’ve got. I reply “Spiderman” He says he wants to see what I’m looking at. So I show him, the response I got was something along the lines of this:
“that’s an old fat chubby out of shape spiderman and what’s that thing that’s hanging, oh my god! if you have time to be looking this crap up during my class while i’m giving an important lecture you’d better ace my test, in fact, I’ve got a special one [test] that has your name on it”
Like I was saying, never a dull day in Professor Jim’s finance class.
