Isaac Asimov was a professional writer long before he entered college. When the time came for him to write his doctoral thesis, his advisor warned him against being too articulate. Most chemistry majors took the minimum of English classes and were unable to write well.

Asimov had read many papers and knew the dry jargon they used. As an exercise, he wrote his own bad paper.

Lecture jokes are the worst. Especially if they put a cartoon on the slide, and then try to explain the slide.

“Ok, so this humorous cat, he’s saying he really hates Mondays. And today is Monday, I know we’d all rather be lounging like that cat. See his funny little face? And his whiskers… they’re all curled and… and the ears… But we’re here instead, thinking about orbital dynamics. And on that topic…”

I made a joke in Chemistry class, but there was no reaction.
