The Physics of Love

Summary

I gave my students a choice for their homework:

Build a nuclear bomb.

Find the teacher a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend.

Complete the physics worksheet.

The next day, one student handed in a blank worksheet.

I called her to my office to interrogate her: "Why didn't you do the homework?"

She dragged a handsome guy in from the hallway.

"Ms. Parker, here's the tall, rich, and handsome guy you wanted."

I nearly fainted.
