[Professor writes the 'Sandwich Theorem' on the overhead]: "Yes, yes, where I am from, we did not call it this. We called it the _Policeman_ Theorem, because when the police grab you, you can not escape."

Our prof spoke with a think Russian accent and was from Czechoslovakia, if I remember correctly. She was an awesome Calc teacher. ...and- iirc again- the sandwich theorem says if you have a function on the graph, you can describe what it equals by having it 'sandwiched' between two other functions. It equals a number between them. (yes, this is a fairly obvious theorem)
