My literature professor was describing aesthetic beauty in writing on the first day of class when all of a sudden he stopped dead, staring out the window and says "That’s a yellow bellied sapsucker!! Do you guys wanna come over and see?!" The entire class roared in laughter. IMMD

That was Dr. Terence Mosher from Fredonia State, wasn’t it?
Is this an inside joke? I don’t get it.
He’s supposed to be teaching them how to write such clear, descriptive, beautiful visuals so the reader sees what the writer saw as if seeing it in person themselves.
When it came his turn to do so, his best work was, “Hey, get over here – you’ve got to see this for yourselves!”
I’d totally die of laughter as well. A literature professor doing a total 180 with his english, i love it.
Lol that sounds so funny, I would have laughed too
(a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker is a species of woodpecker btw)
A-D-D! A-D-D!
It’s as easy as one-two-
HEY LOOK A PIDGEON!!
PIGEON*
* Pidgeotto ??
I had a prof in undergrad who couldn’t take the class outside on sunny days, not because we would get distracted, but because he would. One day, we finally convinced him to take us outside, and he interrupted his own lecture on Virginia Woolf to tell us what kind of bird was making the noise that we could hear. It was hilarious.
I had a Math Professor that did the same thing, only with squirrels playing in the trees! lol!
Wait, he interrupted class to talk about a yellow-bellied sapsucker? They’re so common! An ivory-billed woodpecker I could see, but a little sapsucker?
Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes.
