Many of the teachers I know are way too impressed with themselves. The may be masters in a particular discipline but they are often very ignorant of anything else.

I dealt with a good number of professors from the local college when I was selling hardware, I wasn't impressed.

My favorite was a professor who came in on a Sunday. He needed a water heater element. We boiled it down to the type with a pipe thread, then I asked him "is it 110 volts or 220 volts". He said "yes".
