My dad took a class in college to boost his Gpa that was the study of birds. He said it was one of the hardest classes he ever took and he had to memorize 150 birds by their legs.

just be thankful it wasn't Penis Inspection Day

I just wish my teacher knew my name before we had to get up in front of the class and take a one question exam on bird legs.

He's obviously doing karate to get his leg into that position, and the jacket restricts his movements. Duh.

He also reversed the part in his hair

Don't forget that he changed hairstyle as well.

He also doesn't have a shoe on for some reason.

Removing his jacket makes him more aerodynamic, like a bird. You'd obviously know this if you could name birds based on their legs

Resignation resigned!

Wait, what do you mean he "only taught birds?" Was this like Biology I and then he only talked about birds, or was it a class specifically about birds that you took for a bio credit but he taught it in an annoying way?

I think /r/oldpeoplefacebook and /r/birdwatching had a baby and that baby just had a stroke.

Joe, a college student, was taking a course in ornithology, the study of birds. The night before the biggest test of the semester, Joe spent all night studying. He had the textbook nearly memorized. He knew his class notes backward and forward. Joe was ready.

The morning of the test, Joe entered the auditorium and took a seat in the front row. On the table in the front was a row of ten stuffed birds. Each bird had a sack covering its body, and only the legs were showing. When class started, the professor announced that the students were to identify each bird by looking at its legs and give its common name, species, habitat, mating habits, etc.

Joe looked at each of the birds' legs. They all looked the same to him. He started to get angry. He had stayed up all night studying for this test and now he had to identify birds by their LEGS? The more he thought about the situation, the angrier he got.

Finally he reached his boiling point. He stood up, marched up to the professor's desk, crumpled up his exam paper and threw it on the desk. "What a ridiculous test!" he told the prof. "How could anyone tell the difference between these birds by looking at their legs? This exam is the biggest rip-off I've ever seen!"

With that, Joe turned and stormed toward the exit. The professor was a bit shocked, and it took him a moment to regain his composure. Then, just as Joe was about to walk out the door, the prof shouted out, "Wait a minute, young man, what's your name?"

Joe turned around, pulled up his pant legs and hollered, "You tell me, prof! You tell me!"

This was also an "urban legend" of some sorts at my university. Our curriculum included taxonomy, and we had to learn to identify plants and animals. In plant taxonomy, they'd show you one image out of a dozen possible ones and you had to tell the species' name in native language, latin, area of occurencs and some extra info on it. A lot of cases it was an image of some microscpoic structures. (A pine species had a wax line along their needles, and they'd show you a really close up inage of a pine needle.) In animal taxonomy, you had to examine the animals thoroughly in preparation for the exam. It's not really an issue with bigger animals, like birds and mammals, but insects and the like were quite difficult. Since our university had these really old conserved specimens, some of them were incomplete. Parts missing and such. So the story goes that one of the strictest teachers in that department once asked a student to identify an insect by a leg, as that one came loose of one of them. The student couldn't, do so. At the end of the exam the teacher ended up failing the student, and when he asked for the student's name in order to record their grade, the student replied something along the lines of "That's the easy way" and held their leg up to the professor. Based on what I lived through there, I don't have a hard time believing the story. Maybe not the comeback, but who knows.

I'll try to find it, I'll edit this comment when I do.

EDIT: So far, I've found a version that has the second half of the joke, but it's missing the first half.

Whelp, turns out you were right. I went back... for 11 days. I hated it.

I thought he was raising his leg to indicate he was about to fart on the teacher or some shit like that
