Snarky and eloquent are a bad combination

In a paper I did earlier this semester for criminology I was sorely tempted to include this line, but I decided against it at the last minute, even though I have a feeling the professor would have gotten a chuckle out of it:

"The positivist theories of Cesare Lombroso, which relied on Darwinian concepts to explain so-called atavistic characteristics in criminals, were, in short, a crock of shit."

I'm rather proud of that, even if I didn't get to use it. I should also add that the professor in question actually used the word "garbage" to describe the theories in question, so it wasn't exactly a statement he'd disagree with.
