Anger Management Issues or An Instructional Moment?

Mr. Rideout flicks off his class...

 Oh no, Mr. Rideout - don't be so angry and unprofessional!

Seriously though, this is always a fun moment in the curriculum for me.  How else am I to demonstrate the right hand rule other than show the direction of force with my middle finger on a current heading to my left in a magnetic field pointed towards the class?

(For the non-STEM readers who are confused by this, find a friend who can explain the right-hand-rule to you (Also, sorry about your poor life decisions that led you to this situation where you can't appreciate some of the finer things in life!)).

A good example of how everything that happens in the classroom (well, in life actually) can only be understood in context...
