At university we had 3rd year Physiology lectures in one of the Anatomy lecture theatres which had huge long wooden pointers for the rolling diagrams. Ted would use this to reach several rows back and THWACK the desk in front of you and ask a question. Physiology was always 08:30 lectures so people needed waking up.
I figured out if you knew the answers he stopped bothering you. Some people were mortally afraid of being chosen. The next year, honours, we got inducted into the department common room and Ted became Uncle Ted and a lovely supportive guy.
RIP Ted, gone to anaesthetise some angels.
