I'm not sure about the "best," but I'll certainly second the nomination for Turing.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If you have a refund coming, you don't even have to file an extension. But if you wait too long to file your return, the IRS will start reducing the amount of your refund.
If you owe money to the IRS, filing an extension is easy. Send in with it a payment of as much as you think you will owe as you can (there has to be a better way to phrase that), to reduce penalties and interest. If you over-pay, you'll get the balance back as a refund when you finish filing.

I got one of my absolute least-favorite student comments today:
Student: Are there any chances for extra credit?
Me: Just the few extra problems I've told you about before. (These were generally kinda-tricky problems that required a tiny bit beyond just basic comprehension of the material.)
Student: Oh. Well, what can we do if we're getting a D, but we don't think we're D students?
Me: Well, you've got two homework assignments, one quiz, and the final left. You can come to my office hours or hire a tutor to try to do better on those and bring your average up.
Student: Oh. (Clearly disappointed with this answer.)
I've gotten this sort of "I'm not a D student" or "I'm not a C student" argument before (sometimes way more hostile than this girl was), and I so don't get it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Go back in time and stop sucking?

Be more realistic in your self-perception.

Exactly!
I would not be able to not laugh in their faces. And that's just one of the reasons I knew teaching was not for me.

It took every ounce of self-control I posess to not respond with something like this.

And we applaud you for it.
Even as we secretly wish you had said it.
