If you know what I mean...
I was just studying Statics (which sucks) and realized that I might just be a bad person. I was reading through my notes for "Chapter 4: Equilibrium of Non-concurrent Systems." The next thing I have is "Motion restriction - handcuffs, gags, ropes, chains."The class is just boring, so of course my mind goes into the gutter. For instance, the other day the teacher was talking about two-force and three-force bodies. That's fine. Banal, tedious, coma-inducing, you name it...until Jacobs started talking about the members. Now don't worry, I'm not thirteen, the word "member" alone didn't get me. It was when she started talking about the "bent member" and "straight member" that I started shaking uncontrollably from laughter in my desk. That was two weeks ago.
Yesterday, she held up a universal joint and was talking about it being driven by a shaft. Now this made me laugh because for design, I said to Al that a tunnel/groove in the side of our machine would be called a shaft (which was a more fitting word, in my opinion), but he didn't want to say "shaft." So, of course, in statics I turned to Al and said "SHAFT", which got the stranger behind me to start laughing. Then she started on something, I don't know what [Actually, it was "Rigid and Non-rigid Structures"], and of course she referred to the members, two-force members (which was only funny because it has "member" in it), and funniest of all: the weight of your members (on a rigid structure, that is).
I really need to get back to studying.
