You are wasting my valuable teaching time even taking my class." (I've heard some nasty stories over the years.)
Actually, it's my opinion (as someone who works in this world) that even professors who are pro-Greek or just neutral about Greeks would NOT be thrilled if you asked them this. I'm extremely pro-Greek and I think I would roll my eyes at someone doing this (I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for the last two years).

So basically: don't do it.
