Dude's Power Ranger Getup Fails to Wow Prof
By Feckless Freddie, Codependent Collegian contributing writer
(Madison, WI) Junior physics major Carl Breckenridge thought that he might be able to distract his instructor during the final for which he was not prepared.
Breckenridge, though, did not anticipate his instructor's response to his Red Ranger costume.
"I figured the old goat would at least laugh or something," he said. "He jumps right in with: "Out! OUT!" like I was a terrorist or something. The geezer has no sense of humor, that's for sure."
Breckenridge said that he dashed back to his dorm, changed clothes, and returned "within ten minutes."
"The old bastard wouldn't let me in to take the test," he said. "If I could have taken the exam, I might have pulled a 60% and passed the class. Instead, I have to take Statistical Physics and Waves in the summer now."
Contacted by the Codependent Collegian, the professor - Dr. Robert Collier - refused to discuss the specifics of Breckenridge's case.
"But if any wiseass tries any stupid crap like this in the summer term, I'll report him to Homeland Security," he said. "Maybe a cavity search will get them to take this course more seriously." Stephen Colbert
