It was a red sticker and in white letters it said "If this sticker appears blue, you are driving too fast"

WTF?

It's a physics thing talking about the doppler shift. The faster you go, the farther things shift to the "blue" end of the spectrum.

Yeah, so do I. When I start teaching this fall (as a GA), I'm going to put a red sign on my door that says "If this sign is blue, slow down!".

you should go teach at a high school, then become principal.

I dunno what it is about Physicists and Chemists, but they always seem to love this kind of humor.

I really have no interest in teaching high school kids. College freshmen are going to be bad enough. Hopefully I'll only have to teach the first year of grad school, then I can move on to research projects.
