    Einstein once said that it would be hard to teach in a co-ed college since
    guys were only looking on girls and not listening to the teacher. He was
    objected that they would be listening to _him_ very attentively, forgetting
    about any girls. But such guys won't be worth teaching, replied the great
    man.
