The Professor Paradox

Expectation vs. reality hits different in academia! The dignified, distinguished professor we imagine (complete with tweed jacket and European map backdrop) versus the chaotic genius who shows up to lecture in boxer shorts while casually explaining Maxwell's equations. Those equations aren't just decoration—they're describing electromagnetic field behavior with vector calculus that would make most people's brains short-circuit. Meanwhile, this professor's dress code has clearly short-circuited too. Pure mathematical brilliance requires ventilation, apparently. The true mark of genius? Not caring about pants when you're busy unifying electricity and magnetism.
