absent minded professor

I think I should make a point of looking in the mirror in the mornings when I'm dressed to leave for work. I managed to walk out the door with the shell of my sweater set inside out. Luckily the cardigan was covering it so the tag wasn't sticking out. I don't think it was too noticable, but I'm still just kind of amazed at myself. I remember my class snickering and mocking under their breath a few years ago when the absent minded prof. I was TAing for walked in with his polo shirt inside out (of course that was only one of a series of doofy and mildly disgusting behaviors that quarter). I suppose I can take small comfort in the knowledge that I did manage to notice on the bus ride in, and was able to fix it before any of my students could take pot shots at me.

My ex SIL has this hilarious story about a colleague introducing his idol (some huge muckymuck in the field) to a packed lecture hall with the fly on his cords down. no undies. little professorial dingdong hangin' out.
