One of my profs, earlier this week:
"The material we're going over today is really, really important for your understanding of the law in this course. The only problem is, it's really, really BORING.
But I'm not above bribing you. It's like they say about kids, you're not supposed to bribe and you're not supposed to threaten, and I say, What else is there??
So I brought you cookies."
(Which were, of course, organic Paul Newman cookies, as befits the law school I attend.)
Love.

My favourite prof ever brought us cookies to our final third-year exam. Homemade cookies! I hear people sometimes do that in the USA (where she was from) but I had never heard of a prof doing that over here. It was awesome.

Wow cookies to bribe students. What a concept! A lovely thought though. I heard of a prof who kept a bowl of M&Ms in a bowl on this desk for his students. He'd offer them to them on occaison.
