What's your favorite color?

On of the many fun things about teaching college students is their sense of humor. Not only are many of them wicked funny, but they take the time to express their irreverant humor. (I.e., haven't been beaten down by life... yet).

In preparation for the final, I gave them 100 study questions. The last one was "what's your favorite color"--in tribute to Monty Python. Here's the discussion board posts about it, with about twenty students chiming in. (A couple told me afterwards that they were rather loopy studying for finals.)

- Purple!
- Wrong.
- WHAT?!!!
- violet?
- Because the real answer is RED!!
- funny how this post has more replies than pretty much all the others... and purple is wrong
- I can't find the answer to this one!!!!!! I looked in the notes, read the textbook cover to cover....hoping this one is on there... haha
- Green because it is the color of money :)
- hahah well some1's favorite color is ognna b missing.. there can only b 5 multiple choices.. lol... maybe u can actually get this one wrong!
- I say orange. And I’m sticking to it.
- its clearly hot pink danielle...:)....everyone knows the world should be colo pinkkkkk!!!
- CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?
- Look, I'm having some difficuly with this question. I don't appreciate all the sarcasm people have been showing. I go through different phases of favorite colors and I don't know what phase I'm in right now, but it's somewhere between green and blue. I'm hoping this isn't on the exam tomorrow

Baby Blue Gosh is a great color. It's up there on my list of favorites with Flaming Red Dang and Green Apple Oh My!
