Memorable Quotes or Quirks

"Two things that I still chuckle at years after being exposed to them in Junior year Elementary Science were 'The question and then the misdirection point trick' (looking at one student while asking the question, and then pointing and uttering the name of another for the answer), and 'Launching the tub of yak butter' (a dirty eraser propelled at the end of a yard stick and aimed at the inattentive). Both extremely effective pedagogical techniques perfected by Mr. Miner that I have occasionally used myself when appropriate."
