Title: Rude Professor
Post by burnt-toast on Mar 20^th, 2006, 9:27am

Annoyed by a professor who frequently used “off-color” and sometimes downright rude examples to augment class lectures, a group of students decided that the next time he started to tell one, they would all rise and leave the room in protest.

The professor, however, got wind of their scheme. Just before class the following day the professor bided time, touching on a few sensitive subjects. Then halfway through the lecture on foreign cultures, the professor purposely added - "So they say there is quite a shortage of young prostitutes in France…", on cue the students looked at one another, and started for the door. “No need to hurry folks”, said the professor with a broad smile, "the next plane isn’t leaving until tomorrow afternoon."

The true story is even better. From "The Science Show" on ABC Radio National -

Summary:
Sharon Carleton profiles one of Australia's most influential men of medicine, Roy Douglas 'Pansy' Wright.

Transcript:
Robyn Williams: Hello, I’m Robyn Williams. Today’s Science Show looks at a man who’s little known outside Melbourne today but who had a profound effect on the research and scientific institutions of this country. He was brilliantly funny, gifted and one of Australia’s great scientists and academic administrators. He was vulgar, crude and offensive as well.

Sharon Carleton prepared this Science Show special on ‘Pansy Wright - A Man of Contrasts’.

Reader: It is 1939. The first physiology class at Melbourne University to be given by the newly appointed Professor Roy Douglas Wright is about to start. There are 110 students, 26 of whom are women. Professor Wright arrives carrying two specimen jars - one containing a Caucasian penis, the other a Negroid penis.

“Ha,” laughs Wright, “see the larger size of the black genitalia - just goes to prove the common assumption is correct”. Outraged, several of the women students walk out. “What’s the hurry, ladies? The next boat for Africa doesn’t leave for a week!”
