philosophy class at DMACC rocked

During the Winter Semester of 2001 at DMACC, I took a philosophy course at the Ankeny campus. I thought it would be fun and interesting. It was actually one of the coolest and most interesting classes that I have ever taken in my whole life. I loved that class.

Even better was the teacher. He was really mellow and talked really softly, but had this strange, strange sense of humor. I'm going to post some quotes from him because he was one of the coolest teachers ever.

On the subject of whether a dog is a 'person' or not:
"A dog's not a human being or else you would have sex with that dog."

After saying the word 'shit' in class:
"Am I saying 'hell' and 'damn' and 'shit'? I'm sorry, but in the end it doesn't really matter. We all poop."

A student told him, "I have no idea what you just said!" and he goes, "Well, I do!"

On the subject of minds, spirituality, etc:
"A spiritual penis makes as much sense as a mind thinking."

On the ever-popular topic of sex:
"Philosophy can be applied to anything (I'm just thinking things through). People have thought long and hard- hehe, that's a good pun."

On the topic of his deceased grandmother:
"I have a picture of my grandma hanging in my bathroom. She died in 1991. Actually, it will be 10 years ago this August. I see her everytime I poop. She has nothing against pooping."

And finally, on the subject of death:
"Death'll freakin' pop ya!"
