Sister Eileen
I went to Catholic School and we had this one Sister, Sister Eileen. The school was gradually moving away from having actual Nuns teaching classes and Sister Eileen was the single hold-out. She was old, Bless her, but she was also nuttier than a fruitcake.

There are two things that come to mind when I think of her:

There was a student in my class, we will call him Todd C. Spenla (because I hate that guy) and every day, without fail, he would raise his hand and ask Sister Eileen the same exact question: "Sister, what does Anno Domine mean?" (it was a high school religion class) And every single day, as if it was the first time she had EVER heard the question, Sister would say "Well, Christopher (for that's the bastards middle name), Anno Domine means "the Year of Our Lord"." She would often preface it with a compliment on what a fine question it was. She apparently had no memory of the previous days identical inquiry.

The other thing was the way, in the middle of a lecture, her mind would just wander off and she would stand there blankly, literally in front of the class and pick her nose...and then roll it...there were few students brave enough to sit in the front rows of her classroom. Bless her.
