Chemistry and Baggy

The chemistry department became very famous after the arrival of a new teacher...People called him Baggy, though not in front of him, of course...
We were fascinated by everything about him...His actions, his style of teaching, his grammar, and even his nose!
Many of us liked him....No no...correct that...All of us liked him...His classes were quite fun, not because he taught in an innovative way (which he didn't)....But because we were observing each and every tiny movement he made...We especially loved his characteristic laugh...You can't imagine it...
And one more special quality of his...His sarcasm...That was just amazing...
I remember once he was teaching us all sorts of complicated stuff...All of us were just gaping at him and the blackboard...We didn't understand anything, but we made an honest attempt to....At the end of the class, before leaving, he said, "Shtoodents....you will learn all this in M.Sc classes....This is not a part of your syllabus...Thank you" ... We were all stunned...Later on we had a good laugh about it...BTW, 'Shtoodents' is his way of saying 'students'...
One more incident...We had practicals one day and he was showing us some experiment...He asked the assistant to get some chemical...When the chemical was brought, he took a bit of it in a test-tube and heated it...Some fumes came out of the test-tube and we all instinctively closed our nostrils in order to avoid inhaling the fumes...He said, "Shtoodents, don't be afraid"... He held the test-tube near a particularly inquisitive student, who hesitantly smelled it... Someone asked," Sir, what are the fumes? Are they good or bad?" Baggy said, " Don't worry...The fumes may can be just carciogenic..."... In case you don't know what carciogenic means, it means the fumes are cancer-causing!!!
The poor guy almost fainted after hearing this...
But the teacher was just joking (I think)... The fumes weren't harmful (probably)...
I think now you have a rough idea about Baggy's sense of humour and insightful sarcasm...
These are just a few of the incidents that happened during Baggy's reign...
I'll catch up with some more incidents later...
