Mrs. Teasdale: "I held him in my arms and kissed him." Groucho Marx: "Oh, I see. Then it was murder." -- Duck Soup, 1933 In his classic film, Duck Soup, Groucho Marx transforms a widow's words of sorrow into a take-off on the American phrase, "If looks could kill..." He shows how humor can change the way one thinks about problems and situations. Teaching is all about transforming a student's thinking. Therefore, humor belongs in the teaching toolkit, and deserves to be used.
