They were discussing the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, the worlds largest hydroelectric dam.
My wife walks in and asks, “Is that the Hoover Dam?”

He and the other prof then just start giggling.
Teacher: "Anyone know what's holding them together?"
Student: "Suction?"
Teacher: "No. That answer sucked."
Groans and chuckles come from all corners of the room.
