Sodden professor suspended for lecturing dribble
FUKUOKA -- A professor at a respected Fukuoka university has been suspended for two months after giving a senseless lecture following a heavy afternoon drinking session, it was learned Saturday.
Norito Udagawa, the president of Kyushu Sangyo University, expressed his regret over the conduct of the 52-year-old professor at its Faculty of Commerce.
"We offer our sincerest apologies to everyone involved. We'll discuss measures to ensure this kind of action never happens again," Udagawa said. The unnamed professor will concentrate on his research projects and won't give lectures in the future, he added.
University officials said the professor attended a boozy get-together of a private research group held in Sue, Fukuoka Prefecture, on the afternoon of April 13.
The drunk educator staggered back to the university a few hours later to give a lecture on marketing theory, but he was unable to speak coherently or write readable characters on the blackboard. The disastrous lecture was cancelled after students complained, university officials said. (Mainichi Shimbun, May 25, 2002)

*sigh* having a drunken lecturer would've been great. I did once see
my Economics lecturer drinking form a hip-flask outside his
classroom, he was my favourite teacher at college.

My psychology teacher at A-level got pissed every Friday lunch and
came in to do the lesson sloshed every Friday afternoon. He walked
like he had no spine, and shopped at Forbidden Planet. His favourite
band were the Wedding Present. He was a cunt, unsurprisingly.

Sounds like the vast majority of law school lectures, come to think
of it.

Certainly seemed like the case when I went. But then, it could have
also been my sleep-deprived brain making assumptions.
