in class

you know when a Professor busts out the Alex Trebek questions out to the class, trying hard to get some sort of class participation

Professor, "...this agranulated leukocyte mainly functions in acquired immunity"

only to hear the people next to you whisper "weeeeesshhhhhooowishhhyte" just loud enough to tickle your eardrum.

i always found it kinda funny.  why does everyone just whisper the answer? is to make a little noise for the Professor to hear and move on? are they trying to tell me the answer?  or do they need to hear themselves say it for their own veracity like the thoughts aren't worthy enough? its not like you dont know the answer.

maybe its just the proper protocol.
i mean we are 17 rows from the podium, lets not bust the poor guys hearing aide.

next time im just going to weeeshuwishhhhuuuuuuu to my left and right.  what can i say im a loyal conformist.

ps. the real answer: what is a lymphocyte?
