I’ll say a sentence, and for various majors, I will translate for you:
–
“In physics class, he almost fell on the slippery floor.”
Physics: “In physics class, the coefficient of friction was such that he almost collided with the ground at an impact which would be painful, but he quickly shifted his center of mass to overcome the change in displacement of his feet in relation to the rest of his body.”
Education: “Now class, make sure you watch where you step, or you might fall down and get a boo-boo!”
Business: “Judging from our third quarter report, sales are down because the floor was slippery, but our stockholders will catch us if Human Resources gets their act together.”
Chemistry: “Ka-blamo!”
Sports Management: “STEVENSON! GET YOUR ASS OFF THE FLOOR! THIS ISN’T A SLUMBER PARTY! I WANT YOU TO RUN 30 MORE LAPS!”
Theatre: “Alas, science has fallen me yet again. This floor, laden with water of Hades, seeks to claim my soul. Lo! If only thou wouldst catch me at my utmost diagonal juxtaposition, your thanks would be mine to give.”
Art: “The pea green chalkboard distracted the fleshy-colored person from the transparent water, and he slipped on the beige floor.”
Pre-law: “Your Honor, my client, the floor, had no involvement in the slippage, as the water was placed there without the floor’s consent. The floor is not slippery given the right conditions. I move for a mis-trial.”
Undecided: “Uh…..”
History: “The Mayans were a very advanced civilization. Many Mayan scholars were learned in physics, and pretty much everyone knew that if a floor was slippery, to let their slaves to mop it up and put a wet floor sign up.”
Computer Science:
try {
Walk->chalkboard;
if (floor == slippery)
throw (walking_error(Sussman));
}
catch (exception & fall) {
cout << fall.what() << “You almost fell. Nerd.” endl;
}
Music: “Why would I go to physics? My major involves learning nothing.”
Liberal Studies: “Same here.”
Psychology: “The floor’s inferiority complex conflicted with the subconscious of him, who wished nothing more than to walk over it like he did with his former self.”
Political Science: “If I’m elected, I will do everything in my power to ensure that our floors will never be too slippery. Vote for me.”
French: “Haw haw haw! You silly American pig!”
–
“You just can’t eat hot soup with your bare hands.”
Theology: “Thou shalt not consume unleavened bread with thine arms of God.”
Theatre: “Soup tempt me no further! Silverware must I use to defeat thee!”
Physics: “It is impossible to transfer soup of at least 120°F into one’s mouth using an apparatus, like hands, which cannot withstand the heat.”
Undecided: “Uhhhhhh.”
Education: “Now, Goldilocks thought the first bowl of porridge was too hot, but she didn’t have a spoon to use.”
Computer Science:
Soup campbell(cream_of_potato);
campbell.cook(5) // Cook for 5 minutes
if (!fork && campbell.temp() >= too_hot)
{ campbell.spill_down_your_shirt();
campbell.scream_in_agony();
}
Marketing: “This soup is hot hot hot! Too hot for hands! Only $99.95! Call now and we’ll throw in these special soup-eating gloves!”
Psychology: “Your hands are jealous of the soup and its intensity. This stems back to a repressed childhood memory in which your parents used to feed you strained peas which were way too hot and you cried.”
French: “We call soup bouillabaisse. Haw haw haw!”
Journalism: “Twelve ounces of soup were detained Monday when it scalded the hands of a local moron, authorities said.”
Music:
“Vegetable! (Vegetable!)
Chicken noodle! (Chicken noodle!)
Alphabet! (Alphabet!)
Spaghettios! (That ain’t soup!)
Matzoh ball! (Matzoh ball!)
Split pea! (No soup for you!)
Minestrone! (Minestrone!)
Tom Kha Gai! (That soup’s hot!)
Leeky-leeky! (Leeky-leeky!)
Wonton! (Wonton!)
Gazpacho! (You can do that!)”

–
“The Devil Rays will not win the World Series this year.”
Theatre: “A dagger through my heart, and a baseball through my legs, our misled fish of the Devil shalt finish last.”
Nursing: “Doctor! The pitching staff is choking! Perform the Heimlich!”
Communications: “We need to tell people that the D-Rays suck, but by using as much technology as possible so it gets to all corners of the globe 1/100th of a second faster.
Undecided: “Uhh…”
Education: “Now class, it’s not whether you win or lose, but whether or not you finish in last place every year you’ve been in existence.”
Computer Science:
DevilRays.setLosses(100);
DevilRays.fire(“Lou Piniella”);
DevilRays.contract();
Music: “I have a useless major, but at least I got paid 50 bucks to sing the National Anthem.”
Journalism: “The Devil Rays, the minor league team of the Yankees, suffered another losing season and drew a total of 200 fans.”
Spanish: “I can’t talk right now. I have to get on a raft and defect to America, so I can play for the horrible Tampa Bay team.”
