The day before my sister's wedding I administered an exam in the night class I'm teaching. I didn't grade them until I got back. When I did get them graded, I saw something that depresses me greatly. It involves the following question (which I'd gone over three different times in class):
During aerobic respiration, which of the following molecules directly donates electrons to the electron transport chain at the lowest energy level, and thus only generates two ATP molecules?
A) NADH
B) FADH2
Two students chose D.
I wish I was joking.

This could be your lucky day in Hell
Last night I had plans with Girl Who Won't Be My Girlfriend. She had a final exam in the evening, and said she'd call me when she finished.
I got an email from her in the middle of the day stating that she didn't have her phone, so she'd just come over to my house after she was done. I emailed her back to say that would be perfect (since I wanted to watch the NBA playoffs anyway).
Later in the evening, I logged in to facebook and saw that she'd changed her status to "I think I may get lucky tonight."
Imagine my disappointment when I realized that I forgot to give her the new gate code to my neighborhood, and couldn't call to let her know.

If it was ugly it's uglier now
Friend: Nice coochie cutters.
Me (excitedly): Where?
Friend: Right there.
I look over and see a guy wearing short shorts.
Me: You idiot. Those aren't coochie cutters. They're nut-huggers.
Friend: So they are.
Me: What a disappointment. You really had my hopes up.
