Awesome teachers
Teachers have been getting a right kicking recently and it's not fair. So, let's hear it for the teachers who've inspired you, made you laugh, or helped you to make massive explosions in the chemistry lab. (Thanks to Godwin's Lawyer for the suggestion)

I was taught English by Mary Fitzgerald, daughter of the then Taoiseach. She had a very deep voice and a strong Irish accent.
One day Mary opened Paradise Lost and instructed us to turn to 'Book de Turd'.
Someone asked 'The Fourth, Mary?' to which she replied 'No, de Turd!'
'The second book?'
'No, de Turd! De Turd!'
After that, there was a weekly competition to see who could get her to shout 'Turd!' at them.
I don't think she ever cottoned on, unless she was just playing along.
