While in Nutrition class, my professor was telling us what chemicals in the body tell us what our body needs. In a monotone voice he proceeded to say: “(some chemical) tells us when we’re hungry, (another chemical) tells us when we’re thirsty, and marijuana tells us when we want Oreos.” He then continued on with his lecture like nothing happened!

Cannabinoids, chemical compounds found naturally in the body and produced by certain plants -you know the ones – activate the cream and cookie receptors in your brain, as well as stimulate the areas responsible for recognising disk shaped objects. It’s all scientifically valid, so no wonder why your teacher never bat an eye over it.
whats the name of the chemical that makes us want tacos?
Margarita?
Preparation H.
Taconium!
Gir.
Win.
Tenure will affect your attitude like that!
XD He probably said that to see who was paying attention.
Babz, nothing did happen. You (and the rest of the class) remained uneducated. But ain’t it super-terrif you was got amuzed? (somechemicalIdon’tmember)
I imagine Babz could have looked up the specific chemicals in her notes, but they were not relevant to the rather amusing story.
It is a long-established principle that lecturers and other public speakers who use humor in their talks are more effective — it is a recognized technique of professional speakers at all levels. Of course, this only works if the people listening have a sense of humor, so it wouldn’t be useful to swampthing.
(Honestly, what is with the sudden crowd of people here and on LFMF who don’t do anything but p**s all over people’s stories? So many self-righteous downer comments lately.)
Skipper, you are my hero
Agreed.
Thx — I just wish these people would lighten up and enjoy the sites, instead of thinking they have to critique everybody’s experiences!
I thought that marijuana told you that you wanted Doritos and Large Supreme Pan Pizza…………and Koolaide…………
Once it told my boyfriend he wanted a peanut butter and chocolate syrup sandwich.
Marijuana makes you want fried cheese sticks and a super sonic cheezeburger.
And a rt 44 peach tea or cherry limeade.
and reese’s pieces.
and ice cream.
Oh and it makes you want to share w the puppy(the food not the marijuana lol).
Haha, I love that the nobody apparently batted an eye.
Yes, humor is necessary for people to pay attention, lol, but I’m a bit disappointed that no one started laughing/etc, lol
Haha, I know right? I would have been cracking up! Stoner jokes are great. As is bathroom humor. Priceless :]
Oreos? Noo…. not usually oreos.
Goody rings, yes. Bacon, definitely. Sour-cream-and-onion chips, absolutely. Reese’s pieces, … *drool*.
Oh, and root beer. Lots of root beer.
