Gleaned...and Staff Wit.

Gleaned...and Staff Wit..

Physics Prof.: "There will be a few lectures on the slide rule. This will be mainly of use to those students advancing physics but should also help the doctors compute their income tax."

Physics Lecturer: ""Static electricity may be generated by running a comb through the hair, stroking fur or by turning a nylon stocking inside out."

Heard at the Internal Affairs Dept. Ball—in the Gents Cloakroom:

"Hello, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, that's my internal affair."

Prof. introducing a new lecturer in Maths: "This is Mr. W—from the Met. Office."

Interjection: "He's bound to be wrong in that case."

Prof. (after 5 mins. of equations): "And therefore X equals O."

Student: "Have I been sitting here all that time for nothing?"

Physics Prof. during his inaugural address: The effects of radio-activity were observed when girls were employed painting the faces of luminous watches. Within a few years all of the girls were in serious trouble."
